45 – Is there anything in this world that is holding you back?

Lord Jesus is the King of Kings! In John 16 11-33 (King James Version) Lord Jesus says, “In the world ye shall have tribulation but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world”.

What do these words mean to you? Are you living in the victory Lord Jesus has won for you over 2,000 years ago? If not, it is time to really look at where you place Lord Jesus in your own life.

Are you standing in the victory Lord Jesus won for you over 2,000 years ago? If you have a “voice” in your head saying that you are “hopeless” or you aren’t “good enough”, where could this possibly be coming from? Do you believe that the one who made you in His own image would ever speak to you in this way?

No! Never! Our Lord Jesus says to us that there are only “two masters”, God and mammon. He says that we can only serve one. Which master we choose is our choice. We choose to serve God or mammon. How do we choose?

Through Lord Jesus, we can come straight to God. He says He is “the only way”! He says that He is the “Way, the Truth and the Life”! The devil on the other hand, Jesus refers to as “the father of lies”. The devil is the other master, who sits behind the world, or “mammon”. Jesus says that the devil only comes to “steal” and “murder”.

The devil hates God. He wants to destroy all of God’s creation including us. He is the only one behind all of the horrible things that may come into your mind. You can give him a swift kick by saying, “satan get behind me in the name of Jesus”, when you have thoughts that come into your mind. You can also say, “Lord Jesus please help me”.

There is so much to say about this. I gave my life to serve Lord Jesus in 1995. I have been asking Him to help me since that time. Why? Well, He says, “Ask and you will receive”. So I ask Him anything and everything I have to ask. Over the years, He has shown me many answers in different ways. He IS the WAY.

This means to me, that I must do what He says, not what the world says. You can start your own personal relationship with Him right now! You can say, “Father I repent of ALL of my sins and I ask for your forgiveness.” Lord Jesus tells us that we ONLY have ONE “Father” and that is HIS Father in heaven. If you are not absolutely amazed at this, you may not be too “present” at this point in time.

It is a huge thing that the Son of the most high God is telling us ALL that His Father is our Father! If you don’t find this amazing, you may have been living your life under a “spell”! I pray for that spell to be broken now in ‘Jesus’ name! I pray for you to open to the “living God”. His Son, our Lord Jesus came to bring you “life in abundance”.

After you have said the “Prayer of repentence”, you can say to Lord Jesus that you invite Him into your heart as your Lord and Saviour. You can then start your own personal relationship with Him forever. It is great to have a recording of the Gospels, or a copy of the Holy Bible, so that you can start with the words of our Lord Jesus to help you.

You can start talking with Him in your own time and space. It is your own relationship. To nurture this relationship it is great to treat Him as your best friend. He says, “no greater love is there than one who gives up His life for a friend. He gave up His life for you. He returned from the dead to show what is possible if you will come with Him and obey His commands.

Since I gave my life to Him in 1995, I have been living a greater and greater life. I learn more about so many things from Him and things He guides me to learn, every single day. I am constantly in awe of what He, our Father in heaven and the Holy Spirit do for me.

I look forward to being together again in the next session of ‘Breaky with Jesus’, God bless you, Kelly Newton-Wordsworth

He says that the greatest commandment is to love the Lord your God, with all of your heart, all your soul, all your mind and all of your strength. If you truly do this, the results or the “fruit” that will be produced in your life will be as Lord Jesus says will be “good”!

If you let the “world” stand in your way, you are not standing with Lord Jesus. Lord Jesus says that there are only “two masters”, “God and Mammon”, we serve one or the other. If you believe you are truly serving “God” you will be awake, staying awake and watching out.

44 – Breaky with Jesus – Jesus is the “Bread of LIFE”!

In the Gospel of John 6:35, Jesus says “I am the bread of life. He who comes to ME shall never hunger, and He who believes in Me shall never thirst”. Have you ever asked Lord Jesus what He means by these words? What kind of “hunger” is He talking about? Is He talking about spiritual, intellectual, emotional, physical or some other kind of hunger? One of the most amazing things to me, is that you can ask Him yourself.

He says that He is our “one and only teacher”. When you surrender to this truth, your relationship with Lord Jesus will take a quantum leap! Not just today but every day! There is so much information coming from all over the world, which information is the truth?

God has led me all over the world into many amazing and sometimes quite dangerous situations. For instance, when I was singing for the ‘Peoples’ alliance for Democracy’ in Bangkok, Thailand (also known as the “Yellow shirts”) and on stage singing to around 200,000 people God told me to “leave now”. I left and a bomb went off under the stage upon which I had been standing.

I sang on this stage over many months. God asked me to do this. Before I sang there we prayed together where “two or three” were gathered. It was dangerous for me, a foreigner to do this and I have a huge testimony about the importance of learning how to listen to God better every day! This is really an understatement! It is in reality an emergency to be able to hear the living Lord.

One of the many things I have learned from my journeys all over this world, hearing God’s instruction, praying with others to make sure that I am hearing correctly, and then obeying His orders, is that Jesus really is “THE TRUTH”! There are so many situations I have been in, where I have learned that the “truth” is truly Lord Jesus! I used to argue with so many Christians, before I met Jesus, when they told me that He is “the Way, the Truth and the Life”.

After meeting Jesus, I have been repenting in many moments, for arguing with so many Christians about something I knew nothing about! I knew NOTHING about Him until I said the “prayer of repentance” and surrendered my life to Him. I now know for myself, that I could not have known Him until I gave up my enormous arrogance, of believing that what I thought was “the truth” or even what I believed about anything that I thought or had an opinion of was “the truth”.

I had to leap into the “unknown”. I had to let down my “guard”! What is this? To let down our “guard”, to leap into the unknown? In my experience so far, in this world, many people truly live in this way, where they seem to believe they know what is going to happen next. People have their plans and appear to me to live in this way where their plans are solid.

When things don’t go according to peoples’ plans, there appears to be a reaction which shows that people truly believed that their plans were real and bigger than life itself. It is as if a balloon they believed was solid has popped in their face and something shatters inside. I have seen little children when they have been playing with a balloon and they believe it is like a real ball. The first time they experience a balloon popping, they often get such a shock they cry or scream.

This to me is quite similar to what I have seen when peoples’ plans can no longer happen. There is a feeling of shock or disappointment in them. This of course is totally understandable. However, my experience since meeting Lord Jesus and coming to meet His Father, whom I now know is my own Father, and taking all ideas, plans and prospectively brilliant actions to take (according to myself), letting everything go, giving everything to God is phenomenal!

When God gives us His plans, He makes them happen, as long as we go about them His way. If we will not look to Him and listen closely to His instructions and obey them, we can’t serve Him. Therefore His plans for us won’t or can’t happen.

Can you believe that God’s plans for us are going to automatically far exceed our own plans? From my own life I know that His plans always exceed my own plans. He is the most High God. I am only one tiny human, made in His image. His plans are always going to be beyond anything I can even imagine.

The Almighty God is the one and only true GOD! Of course His plans will be greater than ours. It seems to be a silly question to ask whether God’s plans for us will be greater than our own plans, however I wonder how many people are really asking God for His guidance before they just go and do what they think, feel or what someone else thinks they should do.

How many people do you know, including you yourself, actually take a few minutes to check in with the Almighty God, before you take action with your own ideas or somebody else’s plans for you? This is a HUGE question. Are you going to do God’s will or your own”?

Jesus says that we will not get into “the Kingdom” unless we do the “will of His Father”. He tells the disciples that He has “food” they know “nothing of”. He says that His “food” is to do the will of the “one who sent Him”. Who is the “one who sent Him”? His Father who is also our “Father” who “art in Heaven”.

When Lord Jesus tells us that He is the “Bread of Life”, nobody “comes to the Father except through Him” and we “will not get into the Kingdom unless we do the will of His Father”, when you join the dots together of these statements, do they make any impression upon you?

He wants us to “feed” from Him, not from the world. He wants us to be in the world but not “of the world”. He wants us to look to His Father through Him and not through what we think is the way to Him. There is so much evil going on in this world right now. Jesus tells us that if we “love Him” we will “obey His commands”. He also says that “Heaven and earth will pass away but His words will never pass away”, so what is the true value of every word He ever spoke? His words He is saying, are bigger than this world!

If we as Christians are putting the world ahead of Jesus, what will happen not only to us, but to the world in which we live. Jesus tells us not “to judge lest we be judged”. Are you judging others? Ever? If you are judging in a moment you are going against Jesus. It is so important to know this, so that you can repent immediately, make sure you pay attention to what you are doing in every moment and make sure you stop judging others.

If you continue to judge others, you need to ask Lord Jesus to help you. You need to ask others to pray for you as you may need deliverance from something that happened to you when you were growing up. You may have come from a very judgemental family where you were often judged by others and therefore you have become a judgemental person.

This is the same with addictions. If you come from a situation where your parents were alcoholics or drug addicts, you may need others to really pray for you to be delivered from these addictions. Whatever happens, you can always start with asking Jesus yourself. You can talk to God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit to ask for solutions. You can ask other Christians to pray for you. Keep asking for help until you are able to help yourself, by taking “command over sin”.

People talk about freedom. Lord Jesus says that if we will obey His teaching, we will be His disciples and know the “truth” and the “truth will set us free”. Jesus is “the Truth”! He is our one and only Saviour. If you will obey His words, ask Him, talk with Him, sit with Him and have Him at the forefront of your life, the difference in your life will be beyond whatever you can imagine.

God the Father, through Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit have trained me over almost thirty years to depend on Him and not the world, or “mammon” as Lord Jesus calls the world. I could talk with you about the LIFE He gives to me every day, all day. The stories of the miracles He has done for me, with me and through me obeying His commands are all real.

I pray for you to be delivered into the Life He has for you. The key starts with you. As Jesus says, you must ask, seek and knock at the door of God. If you don’t ask Lord Jesus what can He do. He is in the spiritual realms. You are in the physical realm. When you start to ask Him to help you and you receive His help, your faith will start to increase. The more you ask Him, miracles occur, your faith increases, more miracles, more faith and so on. It is quite logical really. God bless you in all ways, look forward to writing to you next time in ‘Breaky with Jesus’, put God first in your life and see the blossoming inside and outside, Love Kelly Newton-Wordsworth

43 – Happy Easter!

What does Easter mean to you? For many Christians it is a time of great celebration and joy! For others it is about going away for the weekend. For most children in the Western world it is about Easter eggs. People have said to me that they “have to have fish on Good Friday”. When I asked why they did this they weren’t sure. Hmm!

There are so many descriptions every person would give for what Easter means to them it would possibly surprise us all. Why do so many people have these different responses? Perhaps it is simply because we are all totally unique people. We all see things from our own perspective and upbringing.

What does Easter mean to me? It means my freedom to LIVE in this world now and forever more wherever I go! I am so excited about Lord Jesus that I can hardly stop myself from talking about Him to every person I meet on the street or anywhere I travel!

Why? There is a huge reason for me personally. When I met Him in 1995, whilst saying the “Prayer of Repentence” during the Alpha Course ( A course run by a man called Nicky Gumble at Holy Trinity Brompton in London) I experienced feeling and seeing deep within, something I describe as a “black, horrible, sticky tar like substance”, being sucked out of my body. This felt miraculous. The result is miraculous!

At the end of the prayer I felt like I was on a mountain top before pollution, surrounded by the most pure air I have ever breathed, with a rainbow over my head! I had never experienced anything like this in my life! I met Jesus! I knew and know that Jesus is REAL and HE lives! He LOVES me! He wants to give me everything! He wants to help me to live a greater life every day! He is the SON of the most high God! He is everything and more than I have read about Him in the Holy Bible. He lives and wants me to LIVE! LIVE! LIVE! I had no idea at that time He came to bring me “life in abundance”! He wants the same for you!

I had never read any Gospels before. I came from a non-religious background except a religious high school which did its best to also put me off religion. I had never read the Holy Bible. I was very anti-religion. I would never have become a “Christian” because I had experienced so many negative situations with people coming in the “name of Jesus”. I always believed somewhere deep inside that Jesus is real, but had no idea of how to find Him. I had always believed in God however since I was a child and started the search for Him as a small girl.

My dad was a scientist and he told me always to question everything. I kept questioning until I met God the Father! (God says in the book of ‘Jeremiah’ that anyone who seeks Him with their whole heart WILL find Him!) When I found God at the time I didn’t know He is my Father, as it is Jesus who tells us that God is our “one and only Father”, but at that stage I hadn’t met Jesus.

I met God in a very miraculous way. I read one sentence in a book that said, “Jesus said, if we will obey God we can do what He did and even greater things”! This was a huge turning point for my life. I was already awake and searching for God so this was a “mind blowing moment for me! I walked outside looked at the sky and said, “God I give you my life. Tell me what you want me to do for you and I will do it! I want to make a difference for you. I want to do what Jesus did and even greater things”!

A voice spoke to me immediately. I did what the voice told me to do as I knew this voice was from God Himself as I had told Him that I gave Him my life and to tell me what to do for Him. He told me step by step what to do. Very simple steps that led to the next instruction. Interestingly, He told me to start “cleaning”. It was a very special and dynamic method of cleaning that I had never experienced before. It has turned me into a person who truly loves everything to be clean and organised. This has transformed my life forever! I had never been like that before. There is much more to that day however it would take a book to write about it, so it is not for me to write about this now.

The next day, He shouted to me to “STOP” as I was jogging down the road. I stopped, looked around and there was nobody there. I looked down and in front of me, sliding across the bush road was a Tiger snake. If I had not stopped I would have trodden on it or gone in front of it. It’s bite is pretty deadly. I believe that a person can be dead in four minutes if bitten.

I ran back to our home faster than I have ever run. I knew it was God who saved my life. He has been speaking with me ever since. He led me to His Son, my Saviour and the Saviour of any person who meets Him, comes with Him and keeps coming with Him. Living with Lord Jesus every day is a never ending journey. He truly is the Saviour of the world!

Easter for me is a truly joyous occasion as I know He died for me on the cross at Calvary. This is how much He loves every single human being. He said “What greater love is there than one who gives up His life for a friend?” He gave up His life for you. He gave up His life for me. He is our greatest friend.

The really huge joy is that He ROSE! He ROSE UP from being dead in a tomb to speaking to Mary, walking along the road with people who loved Him, seeing His disciples, eating with them and then going back to be with His Father, so that the Holy Spirit could come! We have the Holy Spirit, which is like having Lord Jesus with us, in us (if we allow Him to be) and anywhere we go, any time and any place all over the world!

This for me is a HUGE WOW!!! Lord Jesus said that He is NOT “leaving us as orphans” His Father is sending us a “gift” and this gift is the “spirit of truth” who will reveal all things! He is our “helper”, our guide, our advocate and He is always with us. This is like having part of Lord Jesus with us twenty four seven. Lord Jesus also says that where “two or three are gathered” in His name He will be “there in our midst”! Another HUGE WOW!

If you don’t feel this excited, it is time to ask our Father, Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit for a big break through! I pray for this for you right now!!! Amen!

I pray your next Easter will be greater than your last. I pray you will experience greater days in all ways every day. When you truly come with Lord Jesus you will have a greater day every day. This means your mind as well has to be open to be taught by Him. He says He is our “one and only teacher”. So important to learn every word He spoke in the Gospels which are in the New Testament in the Holy Bible and put His commands into action. He says “if you love me you will obey my commands”!

If you have never met Lord Jesus, you can say this prayer: “Father, I repent of all of my sins and I ask for your forgiveness! Lord Jesus you are my one and only Saviour, teacher, the Son of the most High God, my greatest friend and I ask that you will come and live in me. Please help me to do our Father’s will and obey all of your commands which I know have come from Him. I ask that you Father, Lord Jesus and Holy Spirit will come and live in me now. Thank you for all you have given me, this world to live in, my body and all those I love, the whole of humanity and all that I have. I am now in your service, Amen!

You can say your own prayer, this is just a prayer to help you on your way. You can use it if you want to as a guide to your own prayer. The main thing is to repent of our sins and ask God to forgive us, then ask our Father, Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit into your heart to help you to live this second and forever more. It is then so important to learn the words of Jesus and engage in a personal relationship with Him where you ask Him to help you understand and put into action everything He said. You can also ask our Father, through Lord Jesus where two or three are gathered together in His name, to guide you with your decisions and you can ask the Holy Spirit to help you as well. What a truly amazing life to have this help always and forever from Heaven!

God bless you and Happy Easter, love Kelly

42 – Breaky with Jesus-What is our responsibility in our spiritual journey with Lord Jesus?

Lord Jesus tells us in Luke 21:19, that by our “patience” we take possession of our soul. What do these words mean to you? If you do not truly know Lord Jesus as your one and only Saviour, it is time to make a start in this intimate relationship with Him today! Do you agree? If not today, when? Lord Jesus tells people to “repent” because the “Kingdom of God is at hand”!

Would you say that He is telling us to “repent now” because we all have plenty of time to say sorry to God for all of the things we have done that are not what He wants us to be doing, the thoughts we have had, the ideas that have not been right with Him, disobeyed the Ten Commandments and the commands brought to us by Lord Jesus, which come directly from our Father in Heaven and so on?

Lord Jesus says if we “love Him” that we will “obey His commands”. What if we don’t know His commands? What if we do know all of His commands and just don’t feel like obeying them? We can believe whatever we want to believe in this world, but the living God sent His one and only begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ to bring us to live “life in abundance”!

Do you believe you can live “life in abundance” whilst carrying on with all kinds of behaviour that is against God? Lord Jesus says that anyone who “believes in Him will be saved”! He also says that anyone who doesn’t stands “condemned and the wrath of God remains upon them”. Serious words!

Having given up my life to serve God over thirty five years ago, in 1988, I have lived a spiritual life since that time and grow to love and know my Father in Heaven more every day. There is no doubt in my mind that God loves all of us but the major point throughout the Holy Bible is do we really love Him? Do we love Him as He wants to be loved? Does He really want to be put on the “back burner” until we require something of Him?

Would you like to be treated like that by the people who say that they love you? Would you want people to be calling out to you when they were drowning or dying, telling you how wonderful you are and wanting you to save them? The level of mercy and kindness God has is astonishing to me and He probably does a lot of this kind of saving of people at the last moment. I have heard of the kinds of stories where a man was drowning and called out to God, for the first time in many years, to save Him and a dolphin came by and took him into shore.

Miracles happen every day because God is real. He so loves us. We are made in His image. I have heard people say with such vehemence, “Why would a kind and merciful God” let a particular person die. Did He? Did He let that person die? Did that person have any relationship with the living God where they asked God in prayer before they were killed or died, whether it was God’s will that they go to a certain place on a particular day?

Having known the most High God since I gave up my life to Him in 1988, then He led me to repent of my sins, ask for forgiveness and to give my life to serve His Son in 1995, my experience of Him is that He is the kindest, most wondrous and loving Father, beyond what any person could ever imagine!

However, I would never in trillions of years say anything about Him that is not praising Him and loving Him with my whole heart. I would never dream of criticising Him as I have heard others do! He IS GOD! Whew! He can do whatever He wants to do. There is a proverb that states that “fear of the Lord” is the beginning of wisdom. So important to have the “fear of the Lord”.

It is to have a level of respect that will help you to stay focused deep inside on the Lord no matter what is happening in the outside world. Is this our responsibility? Of course! Every day we must be on the journey with Lord Jesus, taking up our cross, being His disciple and obeying His commands so that when He returns He will find us waiting for Him not distracted by the loudness of the world.

We have many responsibilities in relation to God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. This is not just a simple and easy daily life to be leading. We are to be “in the world” but not “of the world”. How do we do this?

I have been asking Lord Jesus for help since I gave up my life to Him in 1995. I love Him beyond what any words can say. He is my personal Lord and saviour, my greatest friend, the “WAY” to be able to ask our Father what He wants for me to do for Him, my “one and only teacher” and so on.

My journey every day with Jesus is the greatest adventure beyond anything I could ever imagine. He is my wonderful supernatural “besty” and comes to be in our “midst” where “two or more are gathered in His name. I also have my dear friend and “counsellor” the Holy Spirit, whom Lord Jesus sent on the “day of Pentacost”! He is always with me 24 hours a day. Lord Jesus said that He would not “leave us as orphans” and He would send the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit is a constant blessing to me. He is my personal coach and helps me not to forget things. He whispers in my ear. If I don’t listen to Him, I can drive all the way to Perth and leave behind one of the main things I was supposed to bring! I have had this training for years of my life now.

I pray you will open up to having the most amazing relationship with God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit that becomes greater by the day.

Thank you in anticipation and God bless you for your donation. Also I would like to ask that you will take a look at a song I wrote, based on King David’s Psalm 25. I have called it the ‘Prosperity Song’. I believe that many people in this modern world would do very well to spend $2 and buy this. The meaning of “prosperity” is different for every person. The almighty God wants us to prosper, but He wants us to prosper His way. This is so different to the way of the world.

I will be uploading songs onto that platform and if you are a follower, you will receive the songs immediately. I would really appreciate your love and support. Thank you again in anticipation and God bless you in all ways for supporting me in my ministry, Kelly Newton-Wordsworth

41 – Do you want to be in the Kingdom?

This seems like a really silly question perhaps. However, I have met many Christians around the world as I have been singing, speaking and preaching to people on the streets, in halls or churches who do not appear to truly know the “commands” of our Lord Jesus Christ!

In the beginning of my Christian journey, this shocked me to my core. Lord Jesus clearly says that if we “love Him, we will obey” His commands. What is going to happen if we don’t obey His commands?

He says that we will NOT get “into the Kingdom” unless we do the “will of His Father”. How do we do the “will of His Father”?

I have been asking Him questions like these for 28 years. If you would like to know more please place your email address in the box on the right hand side and you will be able to start receiving the answers that I have gained from being a disciple of Lord Jesus since I gave my life to Him in 1995.

I have been asking, seeking and knocking as He commands us to do since that time and He has of course helped me hugely to understand the importance of obeying our Father’s commands many of which have been given to us by Lord Jesus Himself. He said that “none of the words” He spoke came from Him but from the “one who sent Him”! God bless you in all ways and look forward to our sharing of the next ‘Breaky with Jesus’!
