One of the difficulties in living a prophetic life (as well as the need to completely die to yourself and realise that of yourself you have nothing valuable to say, and how wary you have to be of pride and the sin nature that so easily puffs self up and seeks a platform to spout...

When the Exiles Return
In my blog post the other day I wrote, "There is a call going out for the prodigals to return home to family (Luke 15:11-32), for the burnt stones to take their place in what God is building (Neh 2:4), for the dry bones to have life breathed into them once more and take their... Continue Reading →
Press In… and Know When to Rest
A few days ago I shared that God has been speaking to me differently. That has continued and there is something growing in me that I am becoming convinced is part of what's next. It will probably emerge over the coming days. Today I just felt prompted to share the second 'clear' thing God showed... Continue Reading →
Don’t Try To Go It Alone
It's been a funny week. My prayer times with God have been running along quite different lines to what I had been experiencing until recently, and I can't quite tell if that's because of a season-change, because God is calling me to dig deeper, or something else. Probably all of the above. But the things... Continue Reading →
Don’t Leave the Ark Yet
Over the past couple of weeks God has started speaking to me about floods, starting with a sudden direction to Ps 29:10 - "The Lord sits enthroned over the flood; the Lord is enthroned as King forever". Last night I even dreamed about flooding. Now, bearing in mind I live in a town on the... Continue Reading →
Keys to Entering the New
Yesterday after I finished writing down the picture God gave me, He took me to the part of the book of Joshua where the Israelites crossed into the Promised Land. It followed straight on from yesterday's musings and is kind of a part two on the whole theme of ending the transition period and being... Continue Reading →
Ready and Willing in the Day of Power
This morning in prayer God gave me a kind of snapshot picture, of a brief moment in time that I believe shows where we are right now. It was similar to one I had a couple of months ago, in that it centred on Jesus, as captain of the army, mounted on a horse with... Continue Reading →
The Difficulty of ‘The New Normal’
For the past few days God and I have been having a conversation around how hard this season is. Not necessarily as a complaint - just acknowledging the sheer hard work of staying focused on the New Thing that He is doing (as in Isaiah 43:19), and not reverting to old habits. Establishing a new... Continue Reading →
Watching and Ready?
Yesterday morning in prayer God gave me a picture/ vision... In it I was running down a steep hill leading into a sleepy fishing village. Behind the village were further hills and valleys, between which I could see the early light of dawn beginning to turn the sky red - the new day was dawning.I... Continue Reading →
