What If God Let You Know What He Knows? We don’t know what we don’t know, but have you ever thought about what it’s like to be God, who does? To know everything! Something occurred to me as I bantered with my friend Paul on Sunday. Open your bible app to 2 Kings 6:15-17 in the ESV. There’s… Read More »

When Darkness Seems Overwhelming

And Why It Will Bring the Best Out in You My last post was about the dark side of the moon, the other side. In the last few days the astronauts have been floating around the press calls, amazing pictures have dropped and now we wait for the film! Until then, have you considered that there is actually… Read More »

What Will God Be Like in 100 Years?

The pace of change today is simply breath-taking. Nothing and no-one is exempt, the only thing  guaranteed for the future is there will be yet more change. In the face of the dark days we are in it is a grim and sobering venture as we face the challenges and opportunities of the years to come. The apostle Paul… Read More »

Visions – a starting point

There is a massive interest in visions worldwide. Enter the word ‘visions’ on the internet search engine and you will be presented with a staggering 13,600,000 entries. (‘Dreams’ was over 32 million!) ra’ ah A primitive root; to see, literally or figuratively. What is it about visions that so impacts the prophetic, what does the Bible say about… Read More »

Talking of tongues

I’m not sure that we have fully understood the immense value of the God-given ability to speak in other tongues that has been bestowed graciously on the Spirit-filled believer in these days.

Character is our commitment to doing the right thing regardless of the personal cost. It’s been said that character is defined by what you do when you think no one is watching. Character involves the will to respond to values, principles and core values, rather than to the huge onslaught of appetites,… Read More »

Nothing to say

Prophets, artists and musicians all have one thing in common – they need inspiration to work at their best.

If there is one thing that the prophetic ministry will bring both to the Church and to the individual, it is the realisation of the nearness of God.

Bread is not enough

Dieticians all over the world assent to the obvious truth that you can’t live by bread alone. It seems a strange thing to focus on, but the account in the Bible where God feeds the hungry, and somewhat desperate nation of Israel with Manna for 40 years is more important than first impressions allow. It is good to… Read More »
