The last couple of days have been tough: really tough. It's probably a combination of warfare stepping up as the enemy vainly tries to fight what God is doing, intercession as the Spirit reveals the depth of our need for Him, and my own unique circumstances - but when things are this tough there's a...

Anyone else feeling overwhelmed in this season? Maybe I should ask if anyone isn't?! Aren't we all?While the circumstances of lockdown, social distancing and self-isolation are all pretty overwhelming to our souls, I am also feeling overwhelmed by everything that God has been saying and doing. I can't remember or even imagine how it felt... Continue Reading →

In my daily Bible readings at the moment I am reading through Ezra, and the re-building of God’s temple in chapters 1-6. God has shown me many principles from it that we can apply in this current season. We know our old way of seeing church structure has been removed, and God is building a... Continue Reading →

On this day of prayer for Great Britain, I found a cry rising up from my heart in prayer today, that God would forgive us for taking over His Church - for making it something tame and religious and constricted - making it our church. I found myself praying for revival, not of our church,... Continue Reading →

One of the unexpected things I have found myself doing in lock-down has been jigsaws. I used to enjoy them as a child, and have occasionally done some with my kids as part of their home education or at Christmas. But recently I have found myself doing quite a few by myself. And although you... Continue Reading →

The Government have said it definitely won't be before July, and even after that, it will depend on the individual churches' circumstances... Continue Reading →

Wow, this morning was a battle! There are a couple of difficult situations here that have the potential to be highly distracting, and I confess I struggled to connect with God for a while - it was like that scene in the old Jungle Book animation, where Kaa the snake has Mowgli caught in a...

Ever since the start of lock-down when God gave me the picture of the cocoon and said He was taking His Church through metamorphosis, I knew He wanted to shift our perspective from greedy little earth-bound consumers to heaven-bound reproducers. Caterpillars are biologically wired and equipped to consume - to do nothing but eat and... Continue Reading →

This may seem out of place as a title for a blog post, given my recent posts - but it came from a conversation I had with God this morning. Saturdays are usually my day of rest - every other day I set the alarm early enough to come downstairs before anyone else is up... Continue Reading →

This post was originally part of the previous one, Wait Until... but I felt needed to be in a separate post (it was getting a bit long!) And as I wrote there, nobody knows when the new season is going to be released, we just know we need to be ready to move when God... Continue Reading →
