This morning I was reading about the woman with the issue of blood in Luke 8:43-48. It's a well-known story: she had been bleeding uncontrollably for twelve years, had wasted all her money on doctors who failed to cure her, so she set out to touch the edge of Jesus' cloak/ prayer shawl. Obviously she... Continue Reading →
Matthew 25 – Watch & Wait
Do we have what it takes to burn bright while we are waiting in the dark? If you have read any of my other recent posts you will know I've been feeling dissatisfied lately, seeking more of God. When I asked Him what He wanted to say today, I felt His answer was relevant for... Continue Reading →
Pledge to Draw Near – Jeremiah 30:21
God wants a Bride who will commit to close relationship with Him This morning I was reading Jeremiah 30:21, which says, " 'Their leader will be one of their own; their ruler will arise from among them.I will bring him near and he will come close to me— for who is he who will devote himself to be...

Hold Fast to Hope – Hebrews 10:23
As sure as the dawn (and as glorious too), we will receive God's promise if we do hold on to hope At a prayer meeting this week, God spoke to those of us present and said that if we would guard our mouths, we would protect our hope. The example He gave was when my... Continue Reading →
Hold Fast! (prophetic)
we need to hold fast to hope, like an anchor that keeps us steady while waiting for the promise to come As I mentioned in today's blog post, I was feeling restless and dissatisfied this morning and asking God why I wasn't finding the leading of His Spirit. He still speaks to me when I... Continue Reading →
When God is Quiet (Isaiah 54)
what do we do when we can't hear God's voice or see where He is leading? I've written before about God hiding so that we will take time to search for and discover the treasure of knowing Him more. And it is true that there are times when He seems to go quiet and withdraw... Continue Reading →
1 Kings 18 – Waiting for Fire
When God's fire falls, all will see it I was in our church's prayer meeting last night, and as we prayed and waited on God to speak to us, He showed me a picture in my mind's eye, of mountain with a large table-like altar on top, the wood and the sacrifice neatly arranged. I... Continue Reading →
Wake Up and Grab Hold – Isaiah 64:7
Just like the birds who sing to let us know it''s morning, God is calling us to wake up and prepare ourselves This morning in prayer I felt prompted to read Isaiah 64. God has been speaking to me quite a bit from Isaiah recently, and I foolishly argued/ hesitated for a moment, making sure... Continue Reading →
One-to-One with Jesus – Galatians 1:15-18
When we are in relationship with Jesus His Word becomes alive as He speaks personally to us I had one of those times this morning when you are reading a familiar Bible passage and suddenly a detail that you've never properly noticed stops you in your tracks. It was in Galatians, and I read, "But... Continue Reading →
The Roar of the Waves and Billows (prophetic)
This is a word that I felt God gave me after He woke me this morning, and spoke to me of His waves and billows (a billow is a large undulating swell - like the enormous waves out at sea) Jeremiah 31:35"Thus says the Lord,Who gives the sun for light by dayAnd the fixed order of...
