By now we must all be familiar with Songs 2:10, that says “My beloved spoke, and said to me:“Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away with Me”. It’s the call of the Bridegroom to us, His betrothed Bride. Ps 45:10 counsels the royal bride to “Forget your own people also, and your father’s... Continue Reading →

Last week I received a prophetic word from God calling us to make ourselves ready as His pure and spotless bride (here). The worldwide Church is the Bride of Christ, but as individuals we are also His Bride (yes, even the men), so we are coming together in this corporate fast in submission to the... Continue Reading →

After my last post sharing the picture that God gave me on 'Rallying the Bride', my church has been looking more at the Bride of Christ as our identity. As part of this morning's message on that theme (which I recorded several days ago), God spoke about Esther's year of preparation for becoming a royal... Continue Reading →

This is a picture that God showed me yesterday, from the sentence in Ps 20:5 that says "in the Name of our God we will set up our banners" I was meditating on those words and how we are called together to rally - or come together - under a Name, not under a roof... Continue Reading →

For at least the past couple of months, the concept of wine-skins has been more talked about in Christian circles than I can ever remember, and that's largely in reference to the verse in Matt 9:17 (also found in Mark and Luke), which reads,"Neither do people pour new wine into old wine-skins. If they do,... Continue Reading →

The last couple of days have been tough: really tough. It's probably a combination of warfare stepping up as the enemy vainly tries to fight what God is doing, intercession as the Spirit reveals the depth of our need for Him, and my own unique circumstances - but when things are this tough there's a...

Anyone else feeling overwhelmed in this season? Maybe I should ask if anyone isn't?! Aren't we all?While the circumstances of lockdown, social distancing and self-isolation are all pretty overwhelming to our souls, I am also feeling overwhelmed by everything that God has been saying and doing. I can't remember or even imagine how it felt... Continue Reading →

In my daily Bible readings at the moment I am reading through Ezra, and the re-building of God’s temple in chapters 1-6. God has shown me many principles from it that we can apply in this current season. We know our old way of seeing church structure has been removed, and God is building a... Continue Reading →

On this day of prayer for Great Britain, I found a cry rising up from my heart in prayer today, that God would forgive us for taking over His Church - for making it something tame and religious and constricted - making it our church. I found myself praying for revival, not of our church,... Continue Reading →

One of the unexpected things I have found myself doing in lock-down has been jigsaws. I used to enjoy them as a child, and have occasionally done some with my kids as part of their home education or at Christmas. But recently I have found myself doing quite a few by myself. And although you... Continue Reading →
