This morning I was struggling. That in itself doesn't bother me: I know from everything God showed me about Jacob last year that wrestling - clinging on to God through dark, painful and confusing times - can bring great blessings and can release us into new callings. And as I was reading the other day... Continue Reading →

This one's been brewing for a few days, and isn't fully resolved yet, but a conversation with a friend yesterday crystallised some thoughts and feelings that I'd been having, so I wanted to write them down so far, to see where God will take them. I had been restless and wrestling since the word God... Continue Reading →

Every great revival throughout history that I know of has started with a renewed conviction and passion for prayer, often focused around 2 Chron 7:14 -"if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin...

This morning, waking in a world that is rapidly going into lock-down in response to the Covid19 pandemic, I was praying that God's Church would be awake: that we would be watchful to see where He is moving and how He would have us respond. That we wouldn't succumb to fear, but would fix our... Continue Reading →

How seasons change! As I wrote yesterday (here), last season God spoke to me about the frustration and dissatisfaction of the previous season that had led me to a deeper hunger for Him and to cry out for Him with all in me, was now past, and that now is the time to focus on... Continue Reading →

I don't think I'm alone in saying that my thought-life is easily my main area of warfare. Capturing thoughts so they don't rule my behaviour (2 Cor 10:5) is an ongoing battle, but one that I thought I was doing fairly well at until this morning when God lovingly sneaked up on and exposed a...

I just have to say this: my God is so faithful!Recently I've been reading a book called "It's Happening!" by William McDowell, about the revival currently underway at his church in Florida, with countless healings, miracles etc. It is a very inspiring and encouraging book that I have been recommending to everyone, and I still...

This morning I was praying and asking God to give me a greater hunger and passion to see the move that I know God wants to pour out - because I think our apathy as Western Christians is one of the major reasons blocking the move He has promised. And as with all things regarding... Continue Reading →

So much of what God has been saying lately can be summed up quite simply by the invitation to walk with Him. Sometimes we over-complicate our faith and slip into all sorts of rules, traditions and complex theologies - when at the end of the day (or even at the start of all time) we... Continue Reading →

I don't believe that God is constrained to human seasons and calendars - He sets His own times and dates, that may or may not coincide with our human measurements of the passing of time. However as we enter a new year - even a new decade - my home church and many others are... Continue Reading →
