This morning as I came to be with God to just sit in His presence and chat about whatever He wanted, He brought to memory one of the more painful times of my recent life, and spoke about how it had been a Gilgal season, leading to breakthrough into the Promised Land. (I can't say... Continue Reading →
Day of Victorious Liberty
Happy Resurrection Sunday! Christ is risen - hallelujah! I had no plans to blog today - in fact other than the post I wrote at the start of Lent (link here), about the hope we have in Christ, I haven't blogged for forty days. It wasn't a conscious decision (I only ever blog when God... Continue Reading →
Hope Beyond Hope
Regular readers will know that God has been speaking to me this year about restoring faith: about helping us to lift our faith levels so that we are able to reach out and receive the miracles (including healings) that we need and that He has provided for us. It's been a tough journey, as through... Continue Reading →
“What Do You Think?”
Lately I received a message from a friend, asking me to pray about something and then letting her know what I think. It's an appropriate Christian request, isn't it? Or so you might believe... except for something I read yesterday, which in conjunction with my friend's request seemed to light up with Holy Spirit emphasis.... Continue Reading →
The Stone The Builders Rejected
Regular readers will know God has been taking me back to some basics - returning to the "ancient (ie eternal) paths" of Jeremiah 6:16. And one of those paths has involved meditating on the Gospels. Each day I pray, then I read a passage (currently from Mark), and then I slowly re-read and soak in... Continue Reading →
Raising our Faith Levels
I very nearly did not share this post, as it felt so simple it couldn't possibly stand up to theological scrutiny, nor the complexity of people's past wounds in this subject. And yet since God shared the content with me nearly a week ago, it has not left but has rather become stronger, with a... Continue Reading →
Place of Transition
There are two themes that crop up regularly in the pictures God shows me lately. One has been constant for years, while the other is a recent development. The recent one, as regular readers will probably have noticed, is to do with climbing mountains: the start of a new season, hopefully leading out of the... Continue Reading →
The New Wineskin is Already Here
I've had a few conversations lately with people seeking the "new wineskin". For the past five years or more, we know God has been saying "Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?" (Isa 43:18-19). And many... Continue Reading →
Open the Sluice Gates (outpouring part 2)
Following on from the post I shared a few days ago, about the outpouring God desires for us all, the words I had heard when I came to prayer that morning were "Open the sluice gates". I thought it was interesting that I heard "Sluice Gates" rather than "floodgates" which is more common terminology, so... Continue Reading →
The Outpouring (part 1)
I had no intention of writing a "New Year" blog post, but when I came to prayer this morning I heard some words that I felt prompted to share. However, in order to understand them I first need to share something I believe God said to me last month...I saw a picture of a waterfall... Continue Reading →
