Exam Time!
by Ryan Campbell
For some of you that doesn’t mean a great deal, but for most of you it probably means time to get stressed out! So let’s hope this helps.....
Is God really in control? What do you believe? Exams can be an extremely stressful time, as Christians, one of the things that we can count on during exams is that we have a God who loves us and is with us all the time.
Exam time can be really tough when it comes to finding some time with God or even when you’re trying to focus on God throughout it all; exams seem to get in the way of everything. So much revision, so many exams and so many people expecting you to do really well! Sometimes it can feel like it’s just too much to cope with.
If you can completely believe that God is in control then there is no reason to worry, or in some cases; FREAK OUT!
In Philippians 4:6-9 it tells us this;
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable -- if anything is excellent or praiseworthy -- think about such things. 9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me -- put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you."
Peace of mind is definitely something that you want during the next month or so. No one wants to spend every minute of everyday worrying about whether they got that 10 mark question right or wrong! In verse 6 we’re told “Do not be anxious about anything”, God doesn’t tell us things like this is we can’t do it. If you focus on YOUR strength and all of YOUR attributes, of course you’ll panic; of course you’ll become stressed!
How about focusing on God and the Holy Spirit that lives inside of you? The Holy Spirit gives you the power to have amazing Faith, with the Holy Spirit you will be able to trust God beyond YOUR ability and with this will come peace! No more freaking out!
However, even if you continue to worry and get completely stressed out over this next while. God is in total control!
I’ve seen my friends panic time and time again over GCSE results, AS levels, A levels and whether or not they are going to get into the university they wanted. Sometimes it hasn’t turned out the way they expected but over time they’ve came to realise that God has this amazing plan for their lives and it’s what he wants.
So try to relax and focus on God throughout this next month. Even if you can’t relax and you’re going to continue to be stressed for a while just remember one thing.....
GOD IS IN CONTROL.

Revive 2012
Revive Youth weekend took place this year on the 27th and 28th of April with a change of venue, moving from New Life City Church to Dundonald Elim. The hype had started a few days before with many young people excited to see what God was going to do, after the amazing experience they had at the last Revive. It’s safe to say no one was disappointed!
We were glad once again to have the Relentless Band leading us in worship over the weekend. Again and again they continue to show how blessed they are with the talents God has given them, once again they set the mood brilliantly in worship and helped many of the young people engage with God.
We also had the privilege of having Guest Speaker Kevin Peat over for the weekend. Kevin has been a member of the National Leadership Team since 2000. He is Regional Leader in Scotland, the North West of England and North Wales.
The theme for this year’s Revive was the Father Heart of God, and it’s safe to say that God really used Kevin over the weekend to break down walls in the hearts and minds of the young people towards their Father God. The young people really responded to what Kevin had to say on both the Friday night and Saturday morning and it was great to see many of them understanding with both their ‘Minds and Hearts’ the real meaning of God being their Father.
On the Saturday night to say we had a ‘celebration’ and that God turned up would be an understatement. The idea was to have more of a worship session with a few testimonies in the middle and to celebrate what God was doing in each of those situations. However, what started with a few people giving testimony to what God had done for them ended up being well over 50 people! To hear what God was doing or what God had done in those situations was just mind blowing. Many young people were giving testimony for the first time and it was amazing to see that they just wanted to celebrate what God had done in their lives!
Over the two days we experienced God working and breaking down ‘walls’ in people’s lives. We want to thank everyone that was involved and again a big thank you must go out to Kevin Peat for joining us over the weekend. A final thank you to God who showed up, moved mightily over the two days and continues to change the lives of many young people throughout Ireland.
