Welcome!
Hi everyone,
We hope you are all remaining healthy and encouraged during this amazing season. Here in Melbourne, Australia we are still in a strict lockdown. This lockdown means we are unable to travel further than 25kms from our home, unable to meet up with our families and most businesses remain closed.
Like most of you we have been impacted by these ongoing challenges, but we praise God that He remains faithful. I am having numerous Zoom meetings, live-stream preaching, recording sermons and producing short encouragement videos. All these can be viewed at our John Cairns YouTube channel. I am also continuing to connect with leaders and churches globally.
I am really excited to let you know that I have recently finished writing my first book! It is now with a Publisher who is editing, proof reading and preparing the book for printing. It is an autobiography sharing some of my experiences, and lessons learned, over the past 40 years. It will be available in paperback and e-book formats. Let us know if you'd like to pre-order a copy by emailing admin@johncairns.org.
On the day of the announcement of the second Melbourne lockdown the Lord spoke clearly to me from 2 Corinthians 4:8-9, "Though we experience every kind of pressure, we're not crushed. At times we don't know what to do, but quitting is not an option. We are persecuted by others, but God has not forsaken us. We may be knocked down, but not knocked out". (The Passion Translation)
Holy Spirit said to me, you may be locked down, but you are not locked out! We are not locked out from the love of God, we are not locked out from God's grace, His joy, His peace. We are not locked out from His power. We can still develop intimacy with Holy Spirit. We are not locked out from praying, from reading His Word, from connecting with other people. We are not locked out from His provision because He remains Jehovah Jireh. We can live as victors and overcomers through Jesus Christ. We are not under the power of situations and circumstances but living in the power of almighty God. He leads us in triumph.
Romans 15: 13 says, "May God, the inspiration and fountain of hope, fill you to overflowing with uncontainable joy and perfect peace as you trust in him. And may the power of the Holy Spirit continually surround your life with his super-abundance until you radiate with hope!" (The Passion Translation)
Stay encouraged. Fear Not. Be blessed and be a blessing in every way you can to everyone you can!
Love and blessings,
John and Heather
