For most of this week God and I have been talking about the cost of surrendering to His call on my life. My husband and I first stepped out to obey His call about 25 years ago, so it's not a particularly new concept, but recently God has been calling me to step right out... Continue Reading →
Raw and Exposed
I am a talker. Not so much in terms of being a chatterbox - I tend to prefer listening, and especially with those I don't know well, tend to overthink everything I want to say in order to leave as little space for misunderstanding as possible. But with established friendships I am less guarded, and... Continue Reading →
Don’t Deny His Power – 2 Tim 3:5
Probably the most common way that God talks to me is when I am reading his Word and a particular Scripture seems to jump out at me. That's what happened this morning when I was reading 2 Timothy 3. God had already been talking to me about being in the 'last days' in the picture... Continue Reading →
Will You Join Us? (prophetic)
This really follows on from the word God gave me yesterday (here)... While praying this morning I had a picture of a super-olympic-sized arena. In the middle participants are gathering, limbering up and making sure they are ready for the start. All around in the seats are saints from the Bible and throughout history, watching...

Matthew 11:12 – We Are Not Meant to be Passive
One of the phrases that has been resounding in my spirit lately is about not being passive in faith. So this morning I was considering it more and thinking, 'well, what's the opposite of passive then? Aggressive? It doesn't feel quite right' - and I hadn't really finished that thought before God reminded me of... Continue Reading →
Press In! (prophetic)
Beloved, press in! It is time to press in! Press in like the woman with the issue of blood who defied the law to touch me.Press in like Jacob who grabbed hold and held fast until he received what his heart longed for, no matter the personal cost.Press in like Zaccheus who woudn't let his...

Luke 8 – Relentless Pursuit
This morning I was reading about the woman with the issue of blood in Luke 8:43-48. It's a well-known story: she had been bleeding uncontrollably for twelve years, had wasted all her money on doctors who failed to cure her, so she set out to touch the edge of Jesus' cloak/ prayer shawl. Obviously she... Continue Reading →
Matthew 25 – Watch & Wait
Do we have what it takes to burn bright while we are waiting in the dark? If you have read any of my other recent posts you will know I've been feeling dissatisfied lately, seeking more of God. When I asked Him what He wanted to say today, I felt His answer was relevant for... Continue Reading →
Pledge to Draw Near – Jeremiah 30:21
God wants a Bride who will commit to close relationship with Him This morning I was reading Jeremiah 30:21, which says, " 'Their leader will be one of their own; their ruler will arise from among them.I will bring him near and he will come close to me— for who is he who will devote himself to be...

Hold Fast to Hope – Hebrews 10:23
As sure as the dawn (and as glorious too), we will receive God's promise if we do hold on to hope At a prayer meeting this week, God spoke to those of us present and said that if we would guard our mouths, we would protect our hope. The example He gave was when my... Continue Reading →
