"STAND, SPEAK, AND SING" - A SPLENDID ADDRESS GIVEN BY SONYA AT "TURF" LAST NIGHT.

Last night at TURF, The Upper Room Fellowship above Creation in Cross Keys we had one of our fellowship members Sonya Stock (pictured below) giving an excellent talk on "STAND, SPEAK AND SING".

Basing her address around 2 Chronicles 20, Sonya urged us to follow the example of King Jehoshaphat of Judah when he was under attack from the enemies of Moab and Ammon.

The King was told by the Lord via the prophet Jahaziel to fear not, for the upcoming battle "is not your's but God's" (verse 15). As such, Judah and Jerusalem already had the victory because the enemy was defeated by the Lord Himself. It is the same with us today. Even though at times we find the going getting a little tough as the Devil seems to get the upper hand, this is when we must spiritually lift ourselves and know that we have the victory in Jesus who defeated Satan at Calvary's Cross.

Jehoshaphat was told to gather his armies, but not for warfare! They were to "Stand" in anticipation, not to fight (v17), to "Speak" out in praise of the Lord for their victory (verses 18-20), and then to "Sing" (verses 21-22) in thanksgiving for their triumph as the Almighty delivered them.

We too are to Stand, Speak, and Sing in praise and worship unto the Lord, for our battles are already won, Satan is defeated, and we worship a victorious God.

WARNING!.....WARNING.....THE TRUTH HURTS!

Tuesday evening, 25th March 2014. Once again Neville Stephens came with a message to nourish the body with a prophetic word that cannot be uttered in the mainstream churches for fear and unbelief. But here at TURF we have been blessed with an urgent warning to be set free from deception and to receive the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth so help us God.   

From the start of  'THE ISLAMIC MARK OF THE BEAST CONNECTION' we are introduced to some powerful images, with texts in both Greek and Arabic pointing to the symbolic writings that John saw on his visit to Patmos, and faithfully recorded for us in the book of Revelation. Some important Greek symbols reveal that what John saw was in fact an Islamic confession of faith to be written on the 'badge of servitude' which is the dreaded mark of the beast in Revelation 13.. but also spoken of in Qu'ran Timuthi 2639. The Greek word for mark is charagmah and it means all of the following applications: 'a scratch or etching' .. 'stamp' .. 'badge of servitude' .. graven mark' .. 'tattoo' 

Think about the implications of a tattoo being used as the mark of the beast. New technology permits tattoos to be applied with coloured invisible inks that holds a mass of personal information about the wearer, and becomes interactive with RFID technology. Used as a tracking device, with all your medical history, your bank details, education, employment, shopping habits, a 24/7 information database where there is no escape..........unless, one is saved through the precious blood of Jesus.

As a pre-bonus to this main teaching, there was a short video of a very interesting football match. The teams playing are not the issue here, but the subliminal messages being presented at intervals are. These Satanic flashing images contained 'the eye in the triangle'  aka  'the eye of Horus'  and are intended to show allegiance to the Antichrist. 

We don't always realise just how Satanic the world is and how it is being controlled, influenced, and conditioned for this prophetic event to be fulfilled. We desperately need to be close to God in these very dark days in which we live. Dark clouds with no silver lining for the moment, and getting worse.  Please be patient for the CD to be ready, and God willing, perhaps a DVD of this essential document that reveals to us:-

End times deception. By Brian Mace, Tues; 4th March 2014.

When Brian Mace was asked to speak a few weeks ago, one would not have known that this quiet spoken brother would have such a powerful and loud message for the church. One that should cause many to sit up and take notice regarding what we are often taught from the pulpit ...... compared to what the Bible teaches.                                                 

We are instructed to test, or try the spirits because not all spirits are from God. Do not believe every spirit is another way of putting things, and Brian does not hold back or mince words for the benefit of itching ears that don't really want to hear these sound doctrines. Challenging us at out Tuesday evening fellowship, Brian commenced with a key scripture in Titus 1: 10 & 11. which speaks of 'worthless talkers' 'unruly'  'deceivers'  teaching wrong things .. for cash. This clearly is something that is going on big time, and Brian gave evidence of examples which we can all hear and witness on the 'God channels'

Preachers and pastors who are not just paid to speak, but actually told what to preach by some higher church authority. However, the Bible gives instructions on what action we should take when we see these things happening.. The answer is found in Romans 16: 17 & 18. Listen to this... ''Now I beseech you brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offenses contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them''  AVOID THEM we are told, but how many do this? .. Verse 18 goes on to say that these are such that do not serve our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly, and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple'  Are you among the simple who are being deceived?

Brian brought to our attention a long list of things that are contrary to doctrine, proving that the majority of Christians are being deceived simply because they fail to study and scrutinise the scriptures, rightly dividing the word of truth. 

Jesus warned several times that in the last days, we must watch that no-one deceives us as there are many deceivers..not just a few, but many..  Jesus also said:-  ''Ye are deceived, not knowing the scriptures''  Matthew 22: 29. 

Many preachers who pay attention to the congregation will notice that very few people come to church with a Bible, so the preacher knows he can say almost anything and get away with it because no-one is really checking to see if what is said is correct or not... (Acts 17: 11 gives us excellent advice on this matter).

Brian also talked about some of the signs that Jesus gave us, signs that would usher in His return... We are not focused on the hour or the day because it means nothing.  But the signs are essential, and are packed with information that brings vital revelation to the Saints of God.  Earthquake activity was one sign to be watching for..and it's no good saying Oh there's always been earthquakes. (See below ''CREATION GROANS''). Never in history have they been like they are now.  There are many other signs to watch out for, but for those who are not interested in these signs, they will miss out on so much that Christ lovingly warned us of.
                                        
Be blessed as you listen to the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.  CD discs will be available of all the speakers at ''TURF'' giving glory to our God..

COLIN BUFTON AT TURF ON TUESDAY

COLIN BUFTON SPEAKING AT THE UPPER ROOM ABOVE CREATION IN CROSS KEYS LAST NIGHT.

We have had some exceptional speakers at The Upper Room above Creation this year, and last night was no exception at our regular Tuesday meeting at TURF in Cross Keys.

We were treated to a marvellous and enthusiastic sermon by the charismatic lay preacher Colin Bufton, an evangelist, teacher and apologist from the valleys.

He took as his subject "THE THREE IMPERATIVES OF THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST" and based his excellent talk around Acts 1: 7-11.

His three imperatives for us, as members of the church, were firstly to receive Holy Ghost power from above just as the disciples did in Acts 1 before Jesus ascended into heaven.

With this supernatural power we are then to become witnesses for Him at home, at work, in our neighbourhood, and indeed as far away as the Lord is pleased to place us.

And thirdly, we were encouraged to expect the return of the Messiah at any time, and because of this we should be leading holy lives and expectantly warning others of His imminent Second Coming.

Colin also opened and closed his splendid ministry by singing to us with his guitar, and he is pictured below doing this as he led us in a superb evening of ministry and fellowship.

PASTOR LESTER FRECKLETON.

PASTOR LESTER FRECKLETON SPEAKING AT THE UPPER ROOM ABOVE CREATION IN CROSS KEYS RECENTLY. 

Recently we had at The Upper Room Fellowship (TURF) at our weekly meeting "above Creation" in Cross Keys we had the pleasure of listening to the excellent Pastor Lester Freckleton from Cardiff.

Taking as his subject "Be Connected To Your God Given Purpose", Lester had his audience enthralled for over an hour as he spoke eloquently on our need to tap into our service and stewardship for the Lord, which He ordained for us in advance.

Taking us through such marvellous passages as Psalm 139 and Ephesians 2, the wordsmith from our Capital City enlarged on this fascinating subject and with a thorough Bible study of many passages in Revelation, Ecclesiastes, Genesis, Judges, and Exodus, he led us through a splendid evening of ministry, as well as good praise, worship, and fellowship.

The meeting was recorded and is available on CD. Here are a few photos from the gathering.

MY WIFE AND HELP MATE DIANA

MY BEAUTIFUL AND LOVELY WIFE DIANA.
SHE IS MY HELP-MATE IN THE WORK FOR THE LORD AND ASSISTS SO MUCH HERE WITH OUR MEETINGS IN THE UPPER ROOM ABOVE CREATION

HERE IS A BRIEF HISTORY ABOUT ME...AND A MAP.

Hello, my name is John Whittle from Cross Keys near Newport. I give you a very warm welcome to my new blog. I am married to Diana and we have two grown up children. I am also a part time itinerant Christian teacher who preaches the full counsel of the Bible, the Word of God. I particularly love Bible Prophecy, and I stress the imminent approach of the Rapture of the Church to Heavenly Glory, before our great God and Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ, returns to the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem to set up His Millennial Kingdom on earth.  


This map shows the exact location of ''The Upper Room Fellowship'' aka (TURF) and X marks the spot near Crosskeys Train Station.  Directly opposite is the brightly painted blue & white Crosskeys General Store next to the Kebab House....so no excuses for not finding us. We are situated above 'CREATION' a hairdressing salon...how cool is that?  'The Upper Room above Creation' couldn't be a more appropriate dwelling place PTL. This is the scripture the Lord gave me:-  ''And he will show you a large upper room furnished and prepared; there make ready for us'' Mark 14: 15. The Upper Room is over 50 foot in length and 43 foot wide.. It is indeed well furnished to accommodate 75 people, it is also prepared with a P.A system, OHP & PPP facilities, and made ready for our conference meetings.... Spot on exactly as the scripture said it would be.

          
This is the place to look for when you arrive at Crosskeys train station at the traffic light cross roads of Risca Road and Gladstone Street.. We are at the top.

During our time of service to the dear Lord, Diana and I have been involved with many missions.......beach missions.......street missions.......and taken vital aid to Romania, Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia, Macedonia and Splott.. The Lord has enabled us to make 34 trips across Europe to some of the poorest communities..and has provided everything to take.. Not once did we need to ask anyone for cash to make these trips, Jehovah Jireh supplied every need far more exceeding and abundantly than we could ask or think....to an overwhelming overflow...... Think about that one Benny & Co; Ltd:  





ROMANS 8: 22. CREATION GROANS.


                      Friday, 21 March 2014


              Romans 8: 22. 'The earth groans'

Who will believe that the reports of earthquake activity in 2014 would fit in perfectly with scripture?  Who will accept that what is going on within the bowls of planet earth is a fulfillment of doctrine and prophecy, the severe warnings from the intrinsic Sovereign God of creation, who is desperately wanting to get through to this sin-sick world, led by sin-sick world leaders, that the very world we live in is cracking up and His divine call for repentance is falling on deaf ears, and hardened hearts.
                                                                                                                                   Take heed lest there be in any one of you, an evil heart of unbelief..it says in Hebrews 3: 12.  Yes, that's exactly what the Bible does say about all those who refuse to believe ... you have an evil heart ... and need to deal with it fast. You need to do something about it right now before it's to late.

In the commentary of Yeshua to the four disciples on the Mount of Olives once upon a time, the Saviour of the world gave some very clear answers to some very clear questions.  This two part question was put to The Master:-  What will be the sign of your coming, and the end of the world? There followed a long list of events that must come to pass. Matthew 24: goes into much detail regarding the answer to that big all important question ... ''what will be the sign of your coming and the end of the world''  In the answer, Jesus Himself mentions there will be famines and earthquakes in many places.  Here, I shall just take one sign.

Whenever the subject of end times is brought up, how many have noticed that some are quick to say:-  ''No-one knows the hour or the day'' In other words, shut up, it's not important, no-one has any answers... Even though it is Christ who provided all the answers, many - ESPECIALLY THEM CHRISTIAN ONES - refuse to take the matter any further just because of that  'no-one knows the hour or the day' cliché.   It's as if those few words are the only words they have ever heard, or ever been taught, or have ever remembered from what read.  It's as if they have no further interest in the rest of what the Bible says, just those few words which closes and collapses the whole issue of end times.. Jesus did say that no-one would know the hour or the day, but He also gave a huge amount of other detail that we are to be armed with by knowing the signs (not the hour, nor the day) ... which was the nature of the question in the first place.

There is one particular sign that we need to pay very careful attention to and have respect for and it's the earthquake sign. Many people will shrug this off as being a relevant sign by saying ''Oh there's always been earthquakes, so that's nothing to go by'' .. Oh really?  It shows how uninformed those people are and have fallen under the delusion and deception of wishy washy personal thinking.

Let's take a look at the facts rather than the fallacies of cursory opinions. A few years ago when I was speaking on end times using this same scripture in Matthew 24, I asked the congregation if anyone could tell me how many earthquakes had taken place to their knowledge during the past week. Some said none, others said maybe ten... but of course they were only guessing.. I said no, not ten, I asked how many in the past week not the past few minutes. They were shocked to hear that nearly 200 earthquakes had happened in the last 7 days, even though none were reported in the media; but it was a few years ago.

It is now March 2014. Last month I heard there had had been an earthquake on the Greek island of Kefalonia, in a beautiful little holiday resort called Lixurion. That's the Greek name. A few years ago, my wife and I went to a place which was called Lixouri and wondered if it was the same resort.. It was, but the pictures now told a very different story to the photographs I took when we were there. Lixouri had been battered by at least 22 strong quakes.. So bad was it that 600 buildings were demolished by the earthquakes with after shocks ranging from 4.2 to 6.8 magnitudes, one after another, ofter with just seconds in between. But there was no mention of this on the news..... Why should there be?

Because of this, I decided to pay more attention to the quake and shake scenario and I learned that a total of 83 earthquakes had occurred in and around Greece within a period of just 12 hours.. They were all over the place, but 22 were in Lixouri.  There was nothing in the news about any of them.. It's as if the media deliberately kept things quiet not wanting to frighten people or reveal the truth of what was actually taking place. With those 83 quakes, there were 50 quakes between 4.0 and 6.8 on the Richter scale....well over 50%.. It provided clear Biblical evidence that earthquake activity is increasing rapidly in both velocity and frequency.. Even so, there will still be some people stuck in a stupor that will always be more than happy to say:-  ''Oh there's always been earthquakes, so it's nothing to go by'' ....  That's very Sadducee... [sad you see] ... indeed.

Psalm 46: 1 - 3. ''God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble...though the earth be removed...though the mountains are carried into the sea; though the waters roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof'' 
'Even the wind and the waves obey Him' Mark 4: 41.

Looking further ahead now on a more regular basis I find that this is going on:-

Ouch!  1,369 earthquakes in just 7 days.. Again, this figure includes ALL tremors.


And people will still be in ignorance to the fact that this world truly is groaning and travailing exactly as described in the Bible ... but who will believe our report.. How many will still reject the living word of the living God? 


On top of all this chaos, we have had a spate of sinkholes popping in all over the place.  But not to worry, it's only Romans 8:22 in action ... that's all. ''We know that the whole of creation (even the hole of creation) has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time''  That's the language of the Bible used to convey a message to this mess - age, but who will listen?  What happens in the natural sequence of events when the pains of childbirth comes to halt... The birth of something new begins.. Could all these events which are happening in Biblical proportions be the beginning of the end?  If so, and it has to happen sometime, there is only one answer to escape all that is coming upon the earth... 


Repent or perish.



One of the great end time doctrines found in Luke 21 is found in verse 36 and it says this:-  ''Be always on the watch , and pray, that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man''    Now I ask you, why would the Bible say we need to escape from something if there was nothing to escape from?  It is the wrath of God, and there is only one way of escape, and that is through 'The Door' .. who is  'The Way' .. Who is none other than Yeshua.   If you don't know this Son of Man, and if you do not receive Messiah who is Jesus, you will perish.. If you don't want to take this opportunity to receive Christ as your personal Saviour... All you have to do is nothing... Simple as that.. Do nothing and perish accompanied by eternal torment and punishment.. Listen to what the word of the Lord says in 2 Thessalonians 1: 7 - 9  ''The Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels, in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God, on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. These shall be punished with everlasting destruction  from the presence of the Lord''  Tis bad news... But the good news is this:-    ''For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotton Son [Yeshua] that whosoever believes in Him [Yeshua/Jesus] will not perish, but have everlasting life'' John 3: 16. 

Shalom and Maranatha to His church.. 
Posted in the very early hours of the morning .. Thursday March 13th 2014.. Time for bed!
  
To continue with the earthshaking experiences we should be mindful of what is prophetically written in Psalm 46 and Mark 4: 412.  We also need to understand that the wind and the sea obey the voice of God.. And when Almighty God speaks to the wind and the waves and says get yourself up to maximum speed and stand by to attack the coastlines of the UK.. Now go. The wind does not argue with the Master of the waves. When God says to the waves rise up and walk tall at about 30 foot high and smash into that railroad till it has no legs to stand on... Show this nation how powerful the Sovereign Lord is, and show them who is boss around here. 

You mighty winds get yourself a trip over to America and do exactly what I command you to do in the places I send you to go and release your power upon that nation. Let's do another spot check with the earthquake scenario on the west coast from Washington down through California into Mexico and increase your power of destruction as I command you to do.  This will be a wake-up call to America for the umpteenth time, most will not listen, but a few will get the message, sit up and take notice..
