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. Fourth, act on the Word of God.” (Smith Wigglesworth) MATTHEW 4:4 ~ “But He answered and said, ‘It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every…

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. MATTHEW 9:16-17 ~ “No one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old…

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. First, I got comfortable again at 5km, then increased the distance to 7km, then 10km… 12km… 15km… Every small increase was a challenge: My body would…

Our hope should never be based on ourselves, but solely in Jesus Christ (the True and Living God). For only He is faithful, trustworthy, and reliable through all circumstances. 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…
MATTHEW 8:16-17 ~ “When evening had come, they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed. And He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying: ‘He Himself took our infirmities and bore our sicknesses.’” Those who were possessed by demons were brought…
There are times in life when we suffer at the hands of the wicked or are let down by people we look up to. These difficult moments can leave us feeling defeated and broken, with a self-appraisal of failure; let’s face it, pain is real and hurt is real. When these realities/feelings overpower us, we lose hope in ourselves, we…
FORGET NOT ALL HIS BENEFITS…(Psalm 103): He forgives all your iniquities and heals all your diseases (v3) He redeems your life, and crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies (v4) He satisfies you with good things, and renews your youth (v5) He executes righteousness for the oppressed (v6) He is merciful, gracious, and slow to anger (v8) He does…
THROUGH JESUS CHRIST YOU HAVE… Been delivered from all darkness (Col 1:13) Been redeemed and forgiven of all sin through the blood of Jesus Christ (Col 1:14) Received peace through the blood of His cross (Col 1:20) Been reconciled from all wickedness and evil in your mind (Col 1:21) Been made holy and blameless, above reproach in His sight –…
FEELING LIKE DIRT? Whether it is through our own actions, or through the actions of others, we can have moments in life where we feel defeated, and unworthy; times when we “Feel like a piece of dirt”. But in these dirty, cloudy moments, there is still reason to hope, because Almighty God took a ‘piece of dirt’, breathed life into…
HE LEADS ME BESIDE THE STILL WATERS! I was taking time out at a local marina and took a photo of the ‘peace’ amongst the boats, and on viewing, it looks like God sent ‘someone’ to photo-bomb my shot – this was perfect timing, by a Sovereign God! Through this image, we can learn a few things… God is always…
THESE SCRIPTURES GIVE ME GREAT CONFIDENCE…ESPECIALLY DURING THOSE VALLEY MOMENTS: PHILIPPIANS 1:6 ~ “Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.” EPHESIANS 2:10 ~ “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should…
“‘They shall be My people, and I will be their God; 39 then I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear Me forever, for the good of them and their children after them. 40 And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from doing them good; but I will put My fear in their hearts so…
“Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.” (Jeremiah 33:3)
Great and Mighty things, including:
HEALTH, HEALING, PEACE ~ “Behold, I will bring it health and healing; I will heal them and reveal to them the abundance of peace and truth.” (Jeremiah 33:6)
“I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry.
