Dear child Yes you! I love you. You who have wandered away and are struggling to find your way back. I love you. You who have looked into other religions, trying to find purpose and scared to come back to me. I love you You who have been hurt by the people calling themselves followers of me. I love you. You who have been hurling insults at me. I love you. You who feel unseen and unheard. I love you. You who have been faithful to me all of your lives. I love you. You who have

Dear child, each day I make the sun rise. May not always see it in all its glory. There may be clouds covering it. You may not have been awake to notice it, yet it's still there at the start of a new day. A new day means a fresh start, a clean slate. It means fresh hope. It's the beginning of new opportunities. Leave yesterday behind. Leave behind any regrets. Leave behind any hurts. Leave behind any failings. This is a new day. Let's walk through it together. Look up to me f

Note from the author: This spoken word came from a deep longing for more of God and was motivated by daily reading the Psalms aloud and praying in the Spirit at the end of each line. Acknowledging our need for our Creator's Love is the first step toward breaking our reliance on self or others to fill the void that only He can fill. So, reach out today, invite the Holy Spirit to come and rest in you, befriend you, and share His love with you. You will not be disappointed. If y

Dear child, many years ago, I sent my son down from heaven. He walked the earth like you are doing now. My son knew what it was like not to be accepted. He was judged wrongly. He was taunted. Yet, he showed you how to live. He lived a life of compassion and kindness. He loved and accepted everyone regardless of their sex, race, or beliefs. He was your perfect example. He then paid the ultimate sacrifice by being crucified. This is not for anything he had done but to take all

Dear child, you are carrying burdens that are not yours to carry. You carry offence. You are carrying other people's pain. You are believing other people's hurtful words about you. Let me, wash away all that is clinging to you, and that is weighing you down. Let my love and my light wash it all away. As I wash you clean with my love, walk closely with me so that on this journey of life, nothing will burden you again, as I will carry it for you. Keep turning your face and you

The Lord is exposing what is truly inside us. Of course, He already knows what is there, but often we don’t. When God exposes something, it is not because He wants to shame us, punish us, or cause us to suffer. He exposes things because He wants to heal them. It is easy to look at the current climate in the church—where well-known leaders and large ministries are being exposed—and assume that the issue belongs only to them. It is tempting to point fingers and think the proble

I’m picking up from last week’s talk about exposure—how God is exposing things in this day. He is shining light on that which has found its power in darkness. Peter says, “Judgement starts in the house of God,” and we’ve seen that unfold shockingly, repeatedly and publicly and not just in the church, but also in politics and in the highest echelons of society. Every public humiliation of leaders will have started with God speaking to their hearts first, in private. Where they

Dear child, I created this amazing world. I formed it out of the void. I spoke and created light. I spoke, and there was night and day. I spoke and made the earth and the sky. I created land and sea. I made seed-bearing plants and trees. I filled the sea with all kinds of fish I placed every type of bird in the sky. I spoke and said, “Be fruitful and multiply” I made all kinds of animals to roam the beautiful Earth I created. Then I made human beings I made you all. I formed

Scripture speaks more often than we might expect about the hidden places of the human person. One of its most striking metaphors (oddly!) is the kidneys . In the Old Testament, kidneys are used as an image for the deepest inner workings of a person — the seat of emotion, affection, conscience, and desire: the deepest, most concealed parts of the self . Psalm 26:2 says, “ Test me, Lord, and try me; examine my heart and my mind.” And Psalm 16:7 declares, “I will pr

Dear child, you've come through another winter. Spring is around the corner. In midst of darkness, there is always a glimmer of hope. Hold on to that. Hope in me. The bulbs have pushed through the darkness of winter. And so, my child, will you soon the bright vibrant petals will bloom and they will turn their faces to the spring sun. This, my child, is what I desire from you. Keep turning your face and heart to me. I will warm you. I will strengthen you. I will be with you.

Dear child, I love all that I create. I never show favouritism. Not one person is more important to me than another. My heart hurts when you do not love and accept each other. I've created you all to need each other. My desires to see you all living in unity. Even when you disagree or do not understand one another. You can still show kindness and compassion. My world needs people to be gentle and kind. Love one another as I have loved you. Love from your heavenly Father. I

Love is already here. In fact, she has always been here, since the very beginning. She does not announce her presence loudly, but your heart can already sense her. She speaks softly but with a voice that is sure and strong. She moves slowly and gently around the room in a beautiful and graceful dance. She is not in a rush. To begin with, you may not see anything other than the faintest flicker of light, or feel a peace and softness in the air. But know that she is there.

January often feels like a year in itself(!), yet this one already seems to be moving quickly. Perhaps that in itself is significant. We are living in days of acceleration—days of crossing over—and the Church is being called to maturity. A Crossing-Over People The foundation for this talk begins in Deuteronomy 6 , one of the most important passages in the Hebrew Scriptures. These words were spoken to Israel just before they crossed over into Canaan to possess the land God had

The root of the word for wilderness in Hebrew is 'To Speak'. Wilderness seasons are not to be despised or avoided. God brings us into the wilderness so that He can speak to us there.

Avoiding deception is about seeing correctly. Seeing with the eyes of Jesus. We can only see with the eyes of Jesus when we are IN HIM, otherwise we will see through the lens of human wisdom and empty philosophies. The Western church needs the remedy Jesus brought to the Laodicean church... to put on eye salve so that we can see correctly. Laodicean literally means people of the goddess justice. The Laodiceans appraised and judged themselves and thought they were rich because

All seasons come, seasons go The seasons fall, seasons fly Seasons blow, seasons flow A season is born, seasons die. The seasons cry, seasons enjoy A season takes, seasons employ The season's journey, season's story Seasons of sorrow, seasons of glory. Seasons of darkness, seasons of light A season's frailty, a season's might Seasons so fraught, seasons fight A season's bright, a season's delight. The seasons rock, seasons they roll Seasons console, seasons control The season

Dear child, as another year comes to an end, it's time to look at what you need to leave behind or what you need to take into another year. Leave behind all regrets. Take into the new year fresh hope. Leave behind unforgiveness. Take with you grace. Leave behind fear. Take with you faith. Leave behind worry. Take with you peace. Leave behind heaviness. Take with you joy. This new year will provide you with new opportunities and so many possibilities. So leave behind timidit
