For the last few years I have focused my prayer on two points: Lord, bring me the worst of society; the people who have been cast out, rejected, and left, and let’s build them into a strong army, like King David’s men. Make me so strong that I will be able to stand on any altar, where any demon can…
Philip is a prime example of a person who remained adaptable. After being scattered because of persecution, Philip went down to Samaria and preached to them, and a great revival broke out; healings, deliverance, miracles, and joy (see Acts 8:1-8). This is a place many people desire to be. In a multitude impacting, outpouring of the Spirit and revival. Perhaps…
“There are four principles we need to maintain: First, read the Word of God. Second, consume the Word of God until it consumes you. Third, believe the Word of God.

I have been praying and meditating through my journal today. I was drawn to this writing… KAINOS! KAINOS: Something new being birthed for this moment. – New, recently made, fresh, unused, unworn – In respects of substance: of a new kind, unprecedented, novel, uncommon, unheard of.

During constant Lockdowns in Melbourne, I set a goal to train, and run my first half marathon (21.1km) – coming back from a serious knee injury, this was going to be quite the challenge.

Reflect on these promises: “I will be with you. I will not leave you nor forsake you” (Joshua 1:5) “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and…
MANY SEASONS IN ONE DAY… My daughter, Eden (4yrs), just drew and presented this picture to me. Of course I am very proud of her, but when I look deeper, her drawing brings to mind that in one day we can experience all kinds of emotions, obstacles, and challenges that ‘shake us’ about. Eden has drawn sunshine, rain (blue), wind…
WELL, THERE IS STILL GOOD FOR YOU IN CHRIST TODAY… It is easy to focus on moments of failure. It is easy to ‘beat ourselves up’ with mistakes that were made. And at times it may feel easier to give up trying when we have let ourselves down…once again. However, when your life is in Jesus Christ (the True and…
Joseph had a dream concerning his future; one day he would reign (Ref Gen. 37). But the path Joseph was led on made it seem like the dream was impossible: Joseph’s brothers hated him He was thrown in a pit with no water He was sold to slave traders He was reported as dead He was falsely accused and thrown…
