When it all feels too much....

"Your word is a lamp for my feet,

a light on my path."

This scripture has been jumping out in my heart most of the week.

When we don't know where we are going or what we are doing -

" His word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path".

When we can't find our peace and living from a place of fear and anxiety -

" His word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path".

When everything seems to be falling apart and you can't find a way through -

" His word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path".

His word gives us peace in the midst of the storm, faith in the midst of fear, hope in times of despair and discouragement. His word sustains and gives us life when all else is failing. I encourage you today if you are struggling in any way, take some time to spend in His word and then everything will fall back into place and His peace that passes understanding will come into your situations giving you grace and strength for the day. Blessings to you.

Psalm 119:97 - 105

Oh, how I love your law!

I meditate on it all day long.

Your commands are always with me

and make me wiser than my enemies.

I have more insight than all my teachers,

for I meditate on your statutes,

I have more understanding than the elders,

for I obey your precepts.

I have kept my feet from every evil path

so that I might obey your word,

I have not departed from your laws,

for you yourself have taught me.

How sweet are your words to my taste,

sweeter than honey to my mouth!

I gain understanding from your precepts;

therefore I hate every wrong path.

Your word is a lamp for my feet,

a light on my path."

The baby's been handed over

Several weeks ago the Lord shifted us out of the 'home office' into the 'market place' and in the process a spiritual shift happened - one of letting the 'baby' go, a releasing and handing over the batten, so to speak to others. In this process the nests that WE ALL have been in have been stirred up, shaken about, and pushed out, to fly in ways that perhaps we were too afraid to do previously. The amazing thing with God is that He knows the timing of all of this and where each one of us is at and what we can handle. Yes there has been a fluttering of wings in panic. Yes, we have had a few weeks of challenge as authority and structures get changed and challenged, frustrations coming to the fore, but love helps us overcome, love helps us to forgive, love helps us to see the good and not the dirt, love helps us remember our own failings and yet forgiveness and grace that the Lord has for me, that I can give to others, remembering it's the glory of G...

Latest Prayer Update

Since writing last – We continue to pray about the tent meeting but the Lord seems to continue to have that on hold as I believe he has another way of doing the same thing but in a new way where the whole body will be used and so we wait until all the pieces come together. Please be patient with us in this. Africa – We continue to have words given to us about Africa and so the Lord is definitely talking about Africa but he seems to be widening the vision with it all, not just Malawi. It seems more like at this stage visiting a number of African Countries wherever the Lord leads, empowering people – a bit like the last China trip but for longer and more countries and so too we wait for all the pieces to fit together. He has said to have our bags packed ready to go at a moments notice and so we have done that by faith, there are just a few other things that need to come together to make this possible. Picton – We were blessed to be part of a team that we...

Will you play the piano - will you spit and touch a man's toungue?

We had our worship group the other night and to begin with I saw someone playing the playing so I asked if anyone could and would play the piano because that is what I saw happening in the spirit. I may have been wrong in the what I saw but I stepped out in faith but alas no one stepped forward to play the piano so Jim played it and I believe in this the Lord was teaching us some valuable lessons. Jim cannot play the piano at all but he was willing to be used. This morning I was reading in Mark 7:32-35 "There some people brought to him a man who was deaf and could hardly talk, and they begged him to place his hand on the man... Jesus put his fingers into the man's ears. Then he spit and touched the man's tongue. He looked up to heaven and with a deep sigh said to him "Ephphatha!" (which means, "Be opened!). At this the man's ears were opened, his tongue was loosened and he began to speak plainly. I was reminded of the other night ...

How do we honour?

This morning I am pondering how we truly show honour to people? I was thinking about how to honour some people and the Lord said to me “Sarah honour them the way you want to receive honour.” I found that really interesting as it made me question as to what I see as honour toward me in my own life. While mowing the lawns I came to see that honour is actually shown more deeply from people when it is given from the heart, sown by that particular persons love language perhaps and so often we don’t receive the honour that people are giving us if we are expecting it a certain way. For instance the other day a beautiful lady in the Lord gave me a couple of very small roses to wear on my clothes. It was so beautiful and so touched my heart and spoke volumes to me and the honour and love she was showing me because she had thought of me. Often we miss the love and honour someone is trying to show us because we see it from how we expect to receive ...

One of the biggest giants here in NZ - fear of man!

After writing that blog about the terminator, I realise I need to share something that I have found in New Zealand but it is not only New Zealand but everywhere I believe. One of the biggest strongholds if you like that I have come across in the spirit is the fear of man, is of intimidation. I may have shared this before but I find it in almost every church we head into, in the spirit, the thing that hits me and tries to stop me walking in my authority and who God has called me to be, or what he has called me to do in that place, is the fear of man. That comes out of that place as I said of not knowing who we individually are in Christ. As 'Fathers Heart' courses have taught it, the "orphan spirit" if you like. We don't know that we are each special and individually crafted and needed and wanted by God, then we compare ourselves with others, we fight with our brothers and sisters in Christ, we judge ourselves against others, we lift ourselves up over others ...
