Get to know about Shekinah Shur Ministries

We are a prophetic ministry where Overseer Sonia Stewart is the founder and senior Pastor. We are located in Nottingham, England and has been established from March 2008.

Shekinah Shur is the distilled Hebrew for, “Kingdom Gates” Shekinah is derived from word Kingdom which represents the 1st heaven and it also means presence. Malkut, the Sefirah most closely associated with God”s presents in the earth (the Shekinah). She is the bride and the last or small “H” in the name of God. The word Shur  broken down to its letters has three different profound meanings: Sh: means to bring forth or to birth, U: is broken and contrite spirit with outstretched arms to God and R: stands for harvest. The three Hebrew letters that spell the word that means “gate” (8179 ShUR) are Sh shin, U ayin and R resh. Sh shin represents “bringing forth” or “birth;” U ayin represents a broken and contrite spirit with outstretched arms to God; and R resh represents “harvest.” So the distelled definition of this word (ShUR) could be expressed: “The brining forth from new birth a broken heart and contrite spirit for God’s harvest.

Words around “Gate” in the Hebrew Lexicon. These three letters with different vowel points mean 8176 ShUR: to cleave, to divide. This brings to mind the decision that must be made to either enter in by the straight gate, and serve God or to remain in bondage to mammon, where the gates of hell prevail.

All in all Shekinah ShUR in meaning states; kingdom bringing forth or birthing a broken and contrite spirit with outstretched arm’s to God’s harvest.

Come Lets Worship

Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching (Heb.10:25 KJV). We often fail to realise how we can say or imply things indirectly by what we do or fail to do. Forsaking the assembly of the saints is one example of when we do so. Our actions can have a huge impact on those around us. The New Testament commands us to assemble together to worship God (Acts 2:42; 20:7; 1 Cor. 14:23; 16;1,2), and it clearly tells us not to forsake those times when we do.The writer of Hebrews wrote, “And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching”. So come lets worship the Lord together here at Shekinah Shur Ministries, “Here to make a difference with you in mind!“.

Common Questions

What are our beliefs?
We believe in the whole Bible, we believe in one God eternally existing in the Holy Trinity: Father, Son and Holy Ghost (1John 5:17). We believe that Jesus Christ the only begotten son of the Father, conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. Suffered, was crucified, died, buried and raised from the dead; He ascended to heaven and today is seated at the right hand of of God the Father as an Intercessor.
Can all be forgiven?
We believe that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God and that repentance is a commanded of God for all, and necessary for forgiveness of sin. We believe that justification, regeneration and the new birth are wrought by faith in the blood of Jesus Christ. We believe in sanctification subsequent to the new birth through faith in the blood of Christ; through the word and by the Holy Spirit. We believe holiness is God’s standard of living for his people. We believe in the baptism of the Holy Ghost subsequent to clean living and in speaking with other tongue as the Spirit gives utterance and that is the initial evidence of the Holy Ghost. .
Do I have to be baptised
We believe in water baptism by immersion and all who repent should be baptised in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. We believe in healing by the laying on of hands, we believe in the gift of prophecy, the spirit of prophecy, and the office of the prophet according to John1. We believe in gifts of the Spirit and the fruit of the Spirit with Love being the greatest. We believe in right hand of fellowship, in honouring them that have the rule over us, in fasting and prayer, in infant dedication, in Holy matrimony between one man and one woman, we believe in eunuchs, in tithing and giving, in studying the word of God, in Lord Supper and washing of the saints feet. We also believe in the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ first to resurrect the righteous dead and to catch away the living saints to Him in the air (rapture) and second to reign on the earth for a thousand years.

Here in lies a list of our beliefs however it is not exhaustive.
