While worshipping, I received a picture of a lion roaring. The lion was Jesus. As He roared, the sun rose behind Him, and His roar ignited flames of fire on those who had been watching and waiting for Him. He said that the power of his roar and the rising sun were the long-awaited 'new... Continue Reading →

As many of you know, I have spent the last couple of months engaged in battle for my Dad's life - both physical and spiritual - as he was hospitalised and eventually diagnosed with a very aggressive cancer.As a family we received much support, including many prayers for his salvation, for our strength and for...

The battle here is still raging. Often during a battle things get messy and noisy: negative circumstances can be like intimidating giants that seem overwhelmingly to be defying God's victory - and keeping our focus fixed on Jesus can take all of our strength. That's where I'm at, which is why I'm not online often... Continue Reading →

I haven't written here for a couple of weeks because I've been mostly offline. We (my family and I) have been dealing this year with a couple of 'giants' - ie situations that intimidate and try to defeat us - and just recently another has arisen: possibly the biggest and nastiest of them all. So... Continue Reading →

For most of this week God and I have been talking about the cost of surrendering to His call on my life. My husband and I first stepped out to obey His call about 25 years ago, so it's not a particularly new concept, but recently God has been calling me to step right out... Continue Reading →

But with established friendships I am less guarded, and... Continue Reading →

Probably the most common way that God talks to me is when I am reading his Word and a particular Scripture seems to jump out at me. That's what happened this morning when I was reading 2 Timothy 3. God had already been talking to me about being in the 'last days' in the picture... Continue Reading →

This really follows on from the word God gave me yesterday (here)... While praying this morning I had a picture of a super-olympic-sized arena. In the middle participants are gathering, limbering up and making sure they are ready for the start. All around in the seats are saints from the Bible and throughout history, watching...

One of the phrases that has been resounding in my spirit lately is about not being passive in faith. So this morning I was considering it more and thinking, 'well, what's the opposite of passive then? Aggressive? It doesn't feel quite right' - and I hadn't really finished that thought before God reminded me of... Continue Reading →

Beloved, press in! It is time to press in! Press in like the woman with the issue of blood who defied the law to touch me.Press in like Jacob who grabbed hold and held fast until he received what his heart longed for, no matter the personal cost.Press in like Zaccheus who woudn't let his...
