HACKED 

Being hacked is when someone uses a computer to gain unauthorised access to data in your system. Last week I received an email requesting that I click a link, But there was something suspicious about the tone in which it was written, It just didn’t sound like the person. I concluded the person had been hacked, that this was a masquerade to gain further unauthorised access.

The sensitive soul is particularly vulnerable to the spiritual hack of the enemy. He will send a message, masquerading as a helper to hack in and gain unauthorised access to your time, priority, and dreams. He will try and get your attention and access by ‘helpful’ advice “don’t you think dreaming this big might lead to pride?” “isn’t it better to aim for something smaller instead of risking disappointment? He pretends to be your helpful friend but has no lofter goal than to hack, stab, steal, and destroy your dreams.

Once he has gained unauthorised access to your emotions he can then attempt to make you weary, tired, withdrawn, frustrated and irritated, which in turn will impact (hack) the relationships and atmosphere around you.

Just like in the natural hack the key moment is to discern the origin of the message. Is it really from that person? Is it safe to click the link? Holy Spirit has a tone, He speaks with words full of hope, even His correction is full of love, joy and peace. He is clear, specific, He isn’t condemning, vague, but focussed and lovingly direct. His words are full of confirmation, affirmation and empowerment.

If you feel at all suspicious about the source don’t give the message even partial access. Tell yourself “this sounds and feels like a hack, He’s my good shepherd, I know His voice, He’ll make sure I get it” Don’t entertain the message, immediately press delete, the best defence is immediate rejection of it.

Application

Do not give the hacker access:- No more unhelpful introspection, self-criticism, self-protection and false humility. Do not digress, retreat, in order to find false peace. IT IS SAFE & LEGITIMATE TO DISMISS ACCUSATIONS. Trust in God’s ability to keep you, shepherd you, oversee, speak and be heard. Do not be afraid it is I, when you hear His voice it is always accompanied by peace. REST, CREATIVITY, REVELATION ARE LINKED TOGETHER IN A PROFOUND WAY. If you digress for false security, and click the hackers link you undermine the creativity and revelation required to Dream with God.

Planning your Visit

Welcome! Whether you've just moved to the area, or have lived here all your life, we hope our website helps you to find out everything you want to know about our Church.

 

Some key information about the church...

 

Where & when does the church meet?

The church meets every Sunday at 11:00 am for our Sunday Service. There is plenty of free parking around the CCK building. We are walking distance from Plumstead Train station and local buses. It’s good to get to the meeting 15 minutes early to enjoy a fresh cup of coffee before the service starts.

We meet at the church building in the middle of Plumstead

The address is:

You can see a map on our contact us page.

 

What should I expect when I visit the church?

You will receive a very warm welcome particularly from our Welcome Team who will be able to answer your questions and direct you to where you need to go.

Sunday is special because it’s the main opportunity in the week for the whole church family to gather, worship God, enjoy his manifest presence together, minister to one-another, receive encouragement and exhortation from God’s word and be refreshed by God’s Spirit and one-another’s friendship and support.

There will be approximately 45 mins of singing with opportunity for church members to pray, prophesy or read a passage from the bible. After the notices there will be a preach, we take time to understand the bible’s message and how this can teach us about God, about ourselves, about the world that we live in and about what authentic Christian lifestyle looks like in practice. At the end of the preach there is always a chance to respond.

Tea, coffee and biscuits are served after the service where there is plenty of time to meet new people and ask more questions.

 

What happens to the kids at church?

As a family church we are thrilled to have people of all ages involved in our Sunday morning meetings. Typically, after worshiping together for 30 minutes or so, the children and young people will leave for their own activities.

We have a fantastic programme for the kids at the Church for ages 0–14. Children stay with their parents at the start of the service as we worship (sing songs!) together for the first part of the morning. Someone will announce when the children need to go to their programme.

For more information about what happens in the children's work please visit the relevant age groups for you under church life.

Is there a dress code?

No! Please just be yourself and come dressed in your 'normal' clothes.

 

Will I have to join in?

Not at all!
You are free to simply observe or participate as much as feels comfortable for you.
