When you’re in a wilderness, the most natural mindset to adopt is one of survival. I talked about having a ‘survival mindset’ in my last blog, and today, we’re going to take that one step further. There is another way of thinking that is just as detrimental as a survival mentality, and which often goes hand in hand with it: a poverty mentality. These two negative ways of thinking are similar in that they both have an engrained mindset of helplessness. The survival mentality

Hi, and welcome back. Last time I shared with you about a traumatic experience I had at a creative seminar I attended. On that day, I realised that I no longer had any dreams, and that hope had been banished from my heart. Everything came crashing down; I was in shock. How had I let myself get into such a mess? I asked Holy Spirit that question, and He told me that I had been living in ‘survival mode’. Everything I did was subconsciously designed with the aim of just surviv

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

NEW assignments are being released for this NEW Season.  I see a room in the legislative areas of the courts of heaven. Angels, serious angels are passing around papers with deliberate intent. I ask Father what these are as I sense the weight of the assignments. These are assignments for the NEW season regarding people, governments, nations...and ALL created things. The LORD is shaking and moving . He is in control. ALL will see His power and might. Many will cry out for His

Stop looking backwards, start looking forward.   Recently, I have spent a lot of time looking back in time. I am a historian, so that is where my natural gaze goes. There is value in looking back, remembering what God has done, and celebrating his goodness. We share our testimonies of God’s actions in our lives to encourage each other to do it again in his power and favour. We also look back in order to examine ourselves. We look to see whether we have anyone to forgive, or t

Hi, and welcome back to the Walking through Wilderness blog series. We’re going to continue with the ‘Free to Be Me’ theme by looking at the subject of culture. When we lived in Zimbabwe, our family seemed fairly ‘normal’ by Zimbabwean middle-class standards. However, when we came to live in the UK, we realised fairly quickly that we didn’t fit in here the way we did there. The cultures of these two countries are about as opposite as you could get, and we encountered first-h

In what are you invested? In what do you trust that you throw your heart into an investment fully? And what have you invested the hard-earned fruits of your labours in? We all have treasures we hold dear; some hold money or possessions and do all they can to keep them and make them grow, yet fail to find satisfaction in them. Others hold reputation as their highest treasure and take pride in others' high regard, yet still upset and alienate those dear to them. Still others re

Dear child Every person that you come across is my sheep. They have not yet encountered their good Shepherd. Each person you struggle to love, the ones that get under your skin. The outspoken ones, the angry ones, the unkind ones , even the ones that say they hate me. They are all my sheep. They need a Shepherd. Most are unaware of their need for me. You’re  my sheep and you recognise my voice. You walk close to me. Keep close, and as you keep responding to my whisper, others
