This is such a strange time to be alive. It's a privilege, I have no doubt, to be part of the generation where God is bringing reformation and - I believe - revival. These truly are exciting times! But I can't pretend it's not deeply uncomfortable too. There is a cry and a groan rising... Continue Reading →

I have always been intensely private - a highly sensitive person prone to over-thinking and painful self-consciousness. Combine that with a couple of bouts of deeply felt rejection from loved ones, and you are left with someone who has a strongly-rooted aversion to 'putting themselves out there'; someone who much prefers to stay out of...

We humans can be so silly. I certainly can! After God spoke to me earlier this week about the dance of prayer, and receiving His promises through Jesus' "Yes" and our "Amen", you might think that I would be fired up, fully revived with enough of that fresh revelation to keep me going for weeks,...

This morning I was in prayer for some needs that loved ones are dealing with. These needs have been troubling us for a while, but Jesus clearly taught us to be persistent in prayer, so I brought them to God again, seeking His answers. As I prayed I suddenly became aware that music was playing... Continue Reading →

I watched The Shack the other day.  I read the book years ago when it was first released, so I knew the story… and that is why I hadn’t watched the film yet: because I knew the extremely painful and upsetting part that would be involved - I’m not good at being emotionally detached when...

As I was reading my daily Bible portion this morning, God highlighted a passage in a way that I had not noticed before. It was a short passage, from Judges 3:14 onwards, that begins, "The Israelites were subject to Eglon king of Moab for eighteen years. Again the Israelites cried out to the Lord, and he gave...

Ten days ago I started a word study on 'basileia' - the Greek word for 'Kingdom' - looking into every verse that mentions it in the Bible. It is used 163 times in the NT - it took me ten days to complete, and has radically changed my thinking. The study came after several months... Continue Reading →

Four weeks ago I released a post called "The Pressure before the Breach", about where we are in time, feeling like we're about to burst and release revival in all its glorious, messy chaos.This morning I felt a prompt to write again along very similar lines, and it came after a few individual encounters. Yesterday... Continue Reading →

Regular readers will know that I - like many others - have been in a season of having everything stripped right back to basics. It's a very discomforting place to be, faced with my own inadequacy, but VERY liberating to find God there, so much bigger than my weakness! In one way it's as if... Continue Reading →

Since the start of this year when God made it very clear He wanted me to focus on home this year, I have felt an intensifying of the message God gave me at the start of lockdown, that the New Thing He was doing would be done through family. (I mean real family, not the... Continue Reading →
