This morning I felt that the Lord was wanting us to thank Him for our ‘impossibilities’. I had been listening to a song which listed some of the miracles in the bible, and some of the amazing things that the Lord has done for His people. I got to thinking that, inspite of the fact […]
Earlier this week we were talking about praying in the powerful name of Jesus and about the Lord’s promise that ‘He will do whatever we ask in His name’ John 14:14. We know that James tells us that we need to ask aright and we believe that staying closely connected to the Lord by our […]
We have now been on this journey of thanksgiving for six months and it struck me that we can summarise some of the things that the Lord has been teaching us, very simply. Thanksgiving creates connection like nothing else, both in human relationship and also particularly with our God. Remember how in Romans 1: 21 […]
Yesterday we were talking about using all the names of God to build our faith in who God wants to be for us, as we ask Him for different things. I do believe however that the main reason that Jesus told us to ask ‘in His name’, the name of Jesus, was because it is […]
Yesterday we were looking at the wonderful truth that we have a heavenly Father who wants us to ask Him for the things that we need. We see in those passages in John’s gospel, where Jesus is encouraging the disciples to ask for things, that He includes that powerful little phrase ‘in my name’. He […]
ASK is such a funny word, such a small word and yet full of meaning and power, particularly when it comes to connection and communication, and so it’s no surprise that Jesus had quite a bit to say about asking. Jesus said “I tell you, anyone who has faith in me will do what I […]
One of the kings of Israel who used the right lens and the weapon of worship to see the enemy defeated was Jehoshaphat. We read in 2 Chronicles 20 of a time when the two tribes of Moab and Ammon joined forces and came against Israel. King Jehoshaphat was told ‘A great multitude has come […]
In 2 Corinthians 10:4 we read that ‘the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but are divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses’. He is writing here about arguments that can be thrown up setting themselves against the knowledge of God, and about taking our thoughts captive, and making our thinking obedient […]
During this pandemic, I think we have all become far more familiar with the ‘delivery’ people! These people have become part and parcel (forgive the bad joke) of everyday life. So today we are thanking God for being ‘Our Deliverer.’ We are not talking here primarily about deliverance from demonic spirits, but about being ‘carried’ […]
My first experience of someone giving me a prophetic word came when I was at college. The course I had signed up for didn’t exist!!! I was feeling rather confused and lost, when my friend (who at that time I had only just met) who came from a charismatic church told me, rather hesitatingly, that […]
