Prologue to Early Harvest - Lakes in Deep Valleys

We wanted to do something different this Christmas...so we saw a local ad offering a coach trip to Austria for 7 days or so over Christmas. And we had a lovely time.
We had 3 days in Austria itself in Bad Ischl near Salzburg.

In 1972, after being baptised in the Spirit I found I started to get songs. One of the first was written on the back of a card also from Austria to my friend Rachel. It was her house which God sovereignly used to fill us mightily with His Spirit. The "Early Harvest"CD project(mostly recorded in 1990) has a prologue and an epilogue. "Lakes in Deep Valleys" is the prologue and sets the scene for all the other waymarks to follow. I have combined some of Christine's recent photos with the track. Enjoy.

I am trying not to be envious of your Austria holiday. The pictures are just stunning. Christine has a good eye.

Dr David Martin brings WHO to book

Welcome to this Project!

This blog was conceived on the 8th August 2008,hence its title. 8 is the number of new beginnings, which was also the prophetic declaration over the Church through various prophets in 2008.
On,Now,To the Third Level is not some elite form of Christianity. It is God's Norm. Watchman Nee would have called it the Normal Christian Life. Others in time past called it brokenness. We call it life. Rob Rufus explains in "Taking Away The Veil" that Christ has opened the way through to God for us. We can live there.
Why bother using the phrase "Third Level"? Because there are 3 places in God's Tabernacle. And there are 3 stages of growth in 1 John 2. More than this, historically and corporately we have known forgiveness by grace. Then from 1906 onward the Church has known a charismatic empowering by grace. The Baptism of the Holy Spirit and supernatural manifestations.
But what we are now saying is we can live full-time to God's glory and in God's glory. There are keys of faith to each stage and in these last days God has been revealing the grace keys to this final level....a level that has had the Veil Taken Away.
It is the level that is the full realisation of the New Covenant in Christ's Blood, but also the life that God promised when He said "The Knowledge of the Glory of God shall cover the Earth as the Waters Cover the Sea".
