Recently a friend and I were chatting about why previous revivals came to an end: was it because those carrying it didn't have the character to handle the sustained pressure that revival brings? Or were they only ever meant to be temporary foretastes of God's planned end-time harvest? Either way I have a suspicion that... Continue Reading →

I wasn't going to write this post because it's deeply personal, and it's hard to write something like this without it sounding self-pitying or self-glorifying, neither of which I want. I'm not looking for sympathy or praise, but having shared this with a few friends who found it really encouraging, I felt prompted to share... Continue Reading →

Just before I woke this morning I was having a dream. In it I was responsible for getting a minister to the right place, using an umbrella to keep him protected from the lashing rain, and getting him to the right train station/ airport. But when I woke, I heard God clearly says "No more... Continue Reading →

I was enjoying a recent worship recording on YouTube this morning, and at one point one of the worship leaders started spontaneously shouting what sounded like "Don't hold back the Kingdom". Actually I think he was shouting something else, but I believe the words I heard were from the Holy Spirit and resounded through my... Continue Reading →

I was chatting to a friend the other day about this season of pioneering into the New, and the absolute importance of following the voice of the Holy Spirit.

This morning I opened my daily BIOY reading, and the very first verse penetrated my heart deeply. It was from Ps 81:8, where God says, "Hear Me, My people, and I will warn you - if you would only listen to Me, Israel!" I could hear the longing in His voice, urgently seeking to save...

I'll be honest, I don't usually watch sport (or much TV at all, really). But a positive Covid test has left me confined to home, resting on the sofa. And seeing as that co-incided with Wimbledon, I've been following the tournament much more this year than usual. In some ways it helps that I was... Continue Reading →

A few days ago a friend shared a word that God had given her, and I felt it was so powerful, I asked her permission to share it here too. She was happy for it to be shared, so here it is..."Here is a message for my bride, for the ones who will hear.  It... Continue Reading →

It's a funny season, isn't it? I think we're all agreed on that! And a stretching season, for sure!In the first 2020 lockdown I lost my appetite overnight for reading most books, but especially fiction. I had always been a total bookworm so this was a surprise, but it wasn't an act of self-denial -... Continue Reading →
