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

As children of the King of Kings, we have access to our Father, the King, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. He is ALWAYS there for us, any time, night or day. We don’t have to make an appointment, and we don’t have to sit in a waiting room until He’s ready to see us. We get to walk straight into His throne room and run up to Him any time we want, day or night, no matter what important things you think He might be doing or who He is with. There is a clip in one of my favourite m

Mary (mother of Jesus), you heard the word of God tell you the news before you received confirmation from your cousin Elizabeth, who was also with child. Mary's child was a tiny cell a small feet as, she won't have had the technology, skill and knowledge we have today. Mary relied on Elizabeth to first tell her the news that she had been chosen by God to carry his child. Secondly, Mary may certainly have relied on Elizabeth's experience, as Elizabeth was further along in her

There is a stirring in the heart of my people who want more of me that is manifesting as frustration, frustration in the lack of expression of who I AM is in the world, says the Lord. You read in my Word and see what is possible, but you can be frustrated by what you lack in your experience and observation. It is easy to see what the enemy is doing in the world, but it takes discernment to see what I AM doing. This desire for more of me can be expressed as frustration and, at

Two of the most important questions anyone can ask are, “Who am I?” and “Why am I here?” The answers to these questions form the basis of our identity and many of us spend our lives pursuing them. Who am I? What makes me, me? Why am I here? What’s the point of me? What have I been put on the earth to do? The ongoing quest for identity is a massive pursuit, one that usually continues throughout our lives, but, in my experience, it never seems more prevalent than when we are

Prepare Your Heart for Spiritual Growth - Spoken word Some may some day Some search and look  Some find and stay    Some come and go Some seek and find  Some come and look  And still leave blind   Somewhat somehow  Some find somewhere  Some seek the truth Some just don’t care    Some find the seed  along the path  Some birds then feed it just don’t last    Some find the seed It’s shallow soil The sun comes up It’s burnt and spoilt   Some find the seed  amongst the thorns grow

What are you expecting in your life? From what perspective are you looking from? In what and whom are you trusting? Into whose eyes are you focusing?   Isn’t it true that what you expect you will get? Isn't it true that what you think you deserve, you will be? Isn’t it true that if you are unworthy, you have no worth? Isn't it true that an orphan has no inheritance or future?   What is your view of God; good or bad? What is your understanding of His character; good or bad?  W

The King is on the Throne, all creation declared, Make ready, put things in their place, and be prepared. For the King is about to reveal His glory, This is the culmination of His story.
