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

Despite what it looks like and what you face: All is well Although the enemy is lined up against you: All is well With the hordes of hell screaming at you to terrify you: All is well Darkness all around, fear all around, horror all around you: All is well.   All is well, though the earth is moved, All is well, though the mountains crumble. All is well, though the seas roar. All is well, though the mountains shake.   For is not our God our refuge and strength? For is not our G

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

I have been re-reading the account of Mary's conversation with the angel. The angel told Mary that she was going to carry the saviour of the world. After her very natural response of "How can I get pregnant, I am still a virgin?" She accepted the angel's answer. " For no word from God can ever fail" Her reply to that was " I am the Lord's servant" "May your word to me be fulfilled." Mary's faith was in a big God. She trusted that if God said it, then she had to believe it. Ma

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

So, now that you know a bit more about spiritual seasons, let me ask you this: Do you know what season you’re in right now? Do you know what your heavenly Father is doing in your life at this time? If you’re still not sure, ask Him. You might not get a quick answer, but don’t worry, that’s not a problem; in fact, it’s part of the process. Father loves it when we ‘press into Him’ for the next piece of the puzzle, talking with Him as we journey. Our walk with Him is full of my

Hi! We’ve been talking about different seasons in our lives, and in my last blog, I spoke about the parallels we can draw in our spiritual lives with the agricultural seasons. Last time, we discussed ploughing and planting, and this week we’re looking at...   Waiting, weeding and watering So, once you’ve prepared (or ploughed) the soil of your heart and planted your seeds (invested time and energy), you move into the next phase: I call it ‘waiting, weeding and watering’. Ofte

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

Hi, and welcome back! We’re continuing our theme around seasons and, this week, we’re going to look into agricultural seasons and the spiritual lessons we can learn from them. Jesus often told stories with agricultural themes, possibly because the Jews in Bible times were an agriculturally based society, and they understood principles such as sowing and reaping, ploughing, planting and harvesting. However, most of us don’t have an agricultural background, therefore we could

This week, we’re going to continue looking at the subject of spiritual seasons, and specifically the question often asked: “Why do I need to know what season I’m in.” Simply put, the answer to that question is so that we can   partner with Holy Spirit . But let’s delve a bit deeper. A well-known and often quoted scripture when discussing seasons is 1 Chron 12:32 – “… the sons of Issachar who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do..”  This scripture

Dear Child Keep wearing my armour. The helmet of salvation protects your thought life. Fix your thoughts on me. Keep lasooing those wandering thoughts that are not from me and think of me. The breastplate of righteousness protects your heart. It keeps you on the right path. The shield of faith protects you from the arrows of doubt. Keep trusting as you lift that shield. The sword of the Spirit. My word is powerful; keep speaking it out. The belt of truth keeps all the armour
