This morning I was talking to God about the new things that are starting to grow in my life. Things that I might previously have been tempted to call "ministry", although - as with most religious terminology - I don't like using that word any more because of the 'old wineskin' connotations that it carries....

When I came to prayer this morning I was very aware of those (most, if not all of us) who are finding this season so incredibly hard, and how we need to rely on God not just to give us strength, but to BE our strength. In the Spirit I've been feeling a need for... Continue Reading →

A couple of days ago a friend sent me a link to a couple of old prophecies (here). One of the words, released in 1911 spoke of how "Britain will lose her empire and all her colonies and will come to almost total ruin, but will be saved by praying women"The second prophecy (released in...

I've had a few conversations recently around the sometime painful, often confusing season of dismantling that we are going through as a church - how hard but essential it is to stand strong with our eyes fixed on Jesus while all of our religious traditions and presumptions about church are being stripped away.In those conversations...

This isn't typical, so I asked God about it: what is He saying about families?Back at the beginning of lockdown I had such a strong sense of Malachi 4:6 -"He will... Continue Reading →

This morning I was praying generally - just wanting to sit in God's presence and hear His heart. I asked God what He wanted to say, and this is what I felt He said, My flood is coming. The bowls containing the prayers of my faithful ones are about to overflow in answer. I see... Continue Reading →

Love God.Love each other. I was tempted to leave the blog post there, as that is essentially all that God keeps bringing me back to. But the problem with that is that we all think we know it already. I'm speaking to myself first. And God keeps challenging me to connect more deeply with the... Continue Reading →

This morning God took me to Psalm 46:10, usually translated as "Be still and know that I am God". It's a well-known verse that has been spoken a lot this year. But this morning I felt that God wanted to point out the original words. They are raphah yada elohiym, literally translated as "relax, know... Continue Reading →
