At intercession, Pastor Alvin and Pat led us in prayer for an upcoming event called “Toronto Police Service Prayer Walk.” Below are some of the details: Pastor Alvin & Pat also shared a video from CityNews on the Toronto Police Service Prayer Walk.  Check it out: https://toronto.citynews.ca/video/2024/04/11/faith-leaders-and-police-hold-prayer-walk/ I’d like to highlight some things that stuck out to me: The Scriptures say: It is written: “‘As surely as I live,’ says the Lord, ‘every knee will bow before me; every tongue…

When Jerry & Dorothy spoke, they shared a verse with the Church that has changed and continues to change their perspective in life as they walk in God’s purposes. “For nothing will be impossible with God.” Luke 1:37 (ESV) This verse has the ability to change your perspective from what we think we know to what God knows. It moves us from relying on what we see to what God sees. It propels us to place our faith and hope…

On Sunday we heard from Perry Soh on his experiences with Patient Endurance. One of the things that stood out to me was when he reminded us of Jesus’ experience in the wilderness.  In Matthew 4 it says “Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.” Not only was Jesus being tempted by the devil but he was also fasting for forty days and forty nights. As mentioned in Matthew 4:2, “After…

One of the things Donna was speaking over the church in her INTRO (not even the main message) was sensing that God is expanding and increasing our capacity. She shared that this expansion and increase happens on the inside of us. She offered up a new definition of joy: being an internal experience, a delight of simply being in someone’s presence. She challenged us to intentionally rejoice in this season of patient endurance. Not only that, but we rejoice in…

One of the things God has been speaking to me after my January fast was the importance of moving forward. Moving forward is a natural process in the journey of life, and I would like to suggest to you that it is how we are designed as humans. Take a look at your feet. If they are crossed, position them flat on the ground. Tell me which direction they are pointing? For most people, their feet are pointed straight. Our…

How’s your fast going? Is it difficult? If your answer is yes, I think you’re on the right track. During this year’s fast, the Holy Spirit has been revealing to me that I am going through a change in my body, mind and spirit. I felt the Lord tell me that I was going through Spiritual Ketosis.  For those of you who don’t know what Ketosis is, it is a metabolic state that occurs when your body burns fat for…

The theme for this year, 2024, is Patient Endurance. I’m not gonna lie to you and say that I was excited to hear about this year’s journey. I’m not too sure what it will all entail but it doesn’t sound like it’s going to be easy, nor does it sound like it’s going to be fun. When I was thinking about patient endurance, I thought about an analogy of what patient endurance may look like. Imagine on Christmas day you…

As someone who is goal-oriented, one of the first things I do in a new season and/or new year is to come up with a set of goals that I can work towards. Setting goals has been a very useful tool for me in many areas of my life from my physical goals – getting into shape and eating healthy, mental goals – reading more and taking time out of my day to sit and think, emotional goals – becoming…

One of the things that caught my attention last Sunday was when Pastor Alvin said “without a broken heart, we will never move to action.”  When I thought about what he said and let it marinate in my spirit, I was reminded of my relationship with my Dad.  Today, we have a great relationship. I can pick up the phone and call my dad if I ever need anything. I walk and talk with my dad, I hug my dad…

I remember receiving an email from Ann Dalton a couple years ago. At the end of her email was a quote that said: Those who leave everything in God’s hand will eventually see God’s hand in everything. After hearing Ryan’s message on Sunday about five loaves and two fish, I was reminded of that quote. In his devotional on Monday he said: “Five loaves and two fish is a tiny amount of food compared to the masses who needed it.…

At Lifespring we have many opportunities to be a blessing to others, especially those who are in need. This past Sunday, we created 200 winter care-packages for the homeless. We had everyone who attended that day help assemble these winter care-packages, from children to parents to grandparents. It was truly a family effort. One of the verses that seem to capture what we were doing is: This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life…

As I was reading Acts 13, verse 22 struck a chord in my heart. Acts 13:22 (NIV) 22 After removing Saul, he made David their king. God testified concerning him: ‘I have found David son of Jesse, a man after my own heart; he will do everything I want him to do.’ Many of us are familiar with God’s words concerning David as being a man after His own heart, and willing to do everything He wanted him to do.…
