What is it you want?.

What is it you want? I want everything!  I want nothing less!  I want the fullness of God made manifest in and through me where nations are healed and come to the full saving knowledge of God.  I want like Peter who carried the presence of God in such a way where people were healed as he walked past them.  I want to walk like Stephen waiting tables where miracles happened as he waited tables, and then under persecution would shine like Jesus, as stoned to death.  How much do I want it?  How much I am willing to sacrifice to get it? I have seen some of this but I want to see more.   Recently we have been coming under persecution and the Lord said to me "Sarah, what did you pray for?" and so like Smith Wigglesworth who held meetings where Pastors would walk out, who was not altogether liked for his 'style of ministry' but was known as the "Apostle of Faith", liked much better after death than life at times.  The Lord reminded me - Sarah what did you

Oh yeah - the flood came!

After writing the blog yesterday boy did the flood come to my house it seemed and we are still recovering after the water has died down!.  Yes we are still standing, but boy it is a great reminder of the grace that the Father gives and where sin abounds grace abounds all the more!  And such a learning  time for me in loving without judgement for the same measure we give, we will receive.  And I realise with great thankfulness to the Lord that actually I have grown and moved from the place that I have been in the past and into a new place and am finding it much easier to love and forgive and not hold judgement over someone, a whole lot less conditional in my love - oh yeah - thank you Jesus! Now I have loads of things going around my head and I am reminded again that without grace and forgiveness I could not stand.  And in that reminder am able to give it to others where they sin and fall short of the glory of the Lord and stumble in their own walk.  And I realise afresh that I ca

If a flood came would your house withstand?

I had some snapshot dreams the other day and the first one was I was putting up a tent, people where helping me, but then I was left alone to look after it at night. Then the next day I was walking with others through a town that had had a flood come through it and I noticed that some houses had been completely wiped away, some had their foundations of the house on a lean and people were still in them but were looking at alternate accommodation because their houses were going to be condemned and yet others were not even touched by the flood. Then I was doing this quiz with other people but I was on my own and hadn't fully understood the question yet I thought I had it sorted and so when the time came to hand it in I was completely on the wrong track and the people let me know.  I felt a bit stupid, but there was this sense it's okay, you'll get it next time. In reflecting on these snapshot dreams I realise that the tent is our human dwelling, that people help us estab

Step Up & Step In - Fan into flame the gift of God 2 Tim 1:6

The mini conference that we are having at Life Church is titled "Step Up & Step In" - why?  Because we believe the Lord is calling for the charge to go forth.  There is an army ready and waiting to move forth together in the power of God to see transformation come into our nation.  And I believe that now is the time that He is calling those who believe to stand up in what they believe and step up into it by faith and action and see what He will do. It is no longer a time of needing to know your salvation is in Him which is all good and necessary but there is a call for maturity happening at the moment to take our salvation, everything that the Lord has deposited into us and step into seeing His Kingdom come here on earth as it is in Heaven.  We have a responsibility as children of God, as sons and daughters of the Kingdom to make His Kingdom known.  He has given us - you and I - the earth as our inheritance to rule and reign over and now he is saying to take hold of eve
