Yesterday's blog post ended with some thoughts that we might not meet again as church for quite some time yet. One article I've read has suggested it may not be for a year. The Government have said it definitely won't be before July, and even after that, it will depend on the individual churches' circumstances... Continue Reading →

Wow, this morning was a battle! There are a couple of difficult situations here that have the potential to be highly distracting, and I confess I struggled to connect with God for a while - it was like that scene in the old Jungle Book animation, where Kaa the snake has Mowgli caught in a...

Ever since the start of lock-down when God gave me the picture of the cocoon and said He was taking His Church through metamorphosis, I knew He wanted to shift our perspective from greedy little earth-bound consumers to heaven-bound reproducers. Caterpillars are biologically wired and equipped to consume - to do nothing but eat and... Continue Reading →

This may seem out of place as a title for a blog post, given my recent posts - but it came from a conversation I had with God this morning. Saturdays are usually my day of rest - every other day I set the alarm early enough to come downstairs before anyone else is up... Continue Reading →

This post was originally part of the previous one, Wait Until... but I felt needed to be in a separate post (it was getting a bit long!) And as I wrote there, nobody knows when the new season is going to be released, we just know we need to be ready to move when God... Continue Reading →

For the last few days it has felt like God's been taking me on a specific path, with each day clearly following on from the previous day. Yesterday at the end of the post about Coming Up Higher, He reminded me of Jesus' command to His disciples to wait in Jerusalem to receive God's Promise... Continue Reading →

As I was praying this morning, I kept hearing the phrase, "Come up higher - come up here". It was an echo, or a developing, of the things that God was speaking yesterday when He was calling us to build a high way for His people to travel on. I knew I needed to dig... Continue Reading →

This morning in prayer I was still wrestling with the word that has been growing in me since God gave it a few days ago: of the need for us to truly encounter God's power - not just as an experience of His presence giving goosebumps, but truly life-transforming dynamic power that shatters the darkness...

Sometimes when God speaks a word to you it can be so weighty that it takes a while to process. That's where I'm at with His word about cleaning up the battery corrosion and removing the resistors to His power, the other day. What seemed like a simple neat picture has refused to go away...

One of the true joys of this season has been the Bible times that my family and I have been able to share, due to all of us being home together at the same time!Yesterday we were coming to the end of a church-wide study on Ekklesia, and had got to Revelation 3, where we... Continue Reading →
