Sit By the River and Weep

Earlier this week I had a dream. I didn't initially understand it when I woke up but it stayed with me all day in the way that only God-dreams do, so I kept asking Him what He wanted to say and eventually (after a brutally honest conversation with a good friend later that day) the...

Keep The Home Fires Burning

Yesterday I shared the picture that gave me as I joined some others to start the New Year in prayer. Today's post is a kind of part two that came almost immediately afterwards. The two images seem to be very different in focus, but actually I believe the second part is about the smaller, practical... Continue Reading →

Kneeling on the Battlefield

While praying the New Year in just after midnight this morning, I heard a sound of army troops marching, and looked in the Spirit to see troops upon troops of warriors gathering in formation. They had all heard a trumpet sound calling them to gather and were assembling on the battleground. It was a huge... Continue Reading →

The Pressure of Transition

One of my Christmas presents was Patricia St. John's autobiography. I was reading the part last night about her research into the East African revival in the 1930s and this bit struck me: "As he (a young Dr Joe Church) was climbing Namirembe hill, a young African named Simeoni Nsibainbi stopped him and said shyly,...

Lift Your Focus…

Yesterday when I came to prayer I was feeling sad over a recent slip, and identifying with Paul's words in Romans 7:19 - "For the good that I want to do, I do not do, but I practice the very evil that I do not want". It's comforting to know that even the apostle Paul... Continue Reading →

The Enemy of Rest

About a week ago God asked me to 'unplug' (switching off all social media etc) and just focus on Him and my family. It wasn't easy - I love people and, especially during lockdown, have found the mutual encouragement of good friends to be utterly invaluable. I am privileged to know some amazing godly people...

A Holy Hush…

Last night I was in a prayer meeting (via Zoom) and while we prayed I became aware of a tangible sense of peace-filled anticipation that settled on me like a blanket and has not left since.God reminded me of the 400 year silence at the end of the Old Testament when Heaven seemed to go...

Glory Revealed through Broken Vessels

When my husband and I were praying recently with friends, he received a word from Judges 7 about Gideon's army who had been whittled down to just 300, through various subtle tests to reveal their heart attitude; how they were sent to surround the army in groups with trumpets and torches inside clay jars. When... Continue Reading →

Called to Grieve

As I shared in this morning's post, today I felt overwhelmed by the darkness that the world (including the Church) finds itself in. And God spoke a lot to me, to the point where it became multiple blog posts, as my attempt to communicate clearly. But what I needed to acknowledge was the need I... Continue Reading →
