The other night I had this picture where I had given a friend my beautiful guitar (which recently I have in the natural) and they took it and then you go to see them and they wont come out and see you but they give you the old worn out dusty guitar case back but through their daughter? To me this was a picture that I had given my best to someone and they turned around and gave me the rubbish back and not through them but through someone else.  This has happened many times to me where I have given my heart and then I hear through someone else something from that person but that person never talks to me. What do we do with this when it happens to you?  Where you feel used, where you have given everything and then got nothing in return or if you have it has been rubbish? It is a very painful process and too often when that happens we shut ourselves up and protect our heart in the future so we don't get used or hurt again.  This is our natural response to this sort of pain but th

Has anyone ever read the book "Who moved my cheese?"  If not, a really good little book to read that will challenge the way you think when things shift and the decisions we make when a shift occurs.  While this blog is a little like that book except it is "Who changed my soup?" I had a dream last night and in this dream I saw four churches in a fun competition with each other making dishes of food for eating.  I was making a big pot of soup but I had forgotten to put the salt in.  The competition thinking I would have put salt in already added a whole another cup of salt to our soup behind our backs.  When we had realised we had to adjust our soup and add things because it was way too salty.  We had to add food that we would not have naturally added and we had no idea what it would turn out like.  We were having to create something that was out of the ordinary.  But because they had done that, we had ended up making something very creative and tastier and more ori

Wednesday night worship beings again at Puketaha Hall on the 31st of July. The Prayer Room will be open again in "The Shack" from the 31st of July but has changed a little. Wednesday mornings will be focused prayer for this ministry and for revival in this nation and so if you would like to join this come along.   We would love to see more people come on board and pray with us for this ministry and what God is doing in this Nation.  10am - 12pm Thursday mornings will be open to anyone as a soaking/ministry time so if you want to soak/worship and come and sit with the Lord and perhaps would like some ministry, this is now the time to come. 10am - 12pm again. "The Shack" is located at our place at 137 Kiroa Road, R.D. 1 Hamilton which is off Seddon Road which is off Puketaha Road.

A couple of nights ago had a dream and in this dream I saw myself running on the road and going around the block and looking at houses, some of them old and run down.  Then the second time I went out I saw myself running down the road again and I saw some christian friends that I know gathered in a party type gathering, and I found myself crossing over the street moving on from the party and I continued down the road with a sense of not wanting to go back. Several things spoke to me in this dream. One; that I was looking at old and run down houses as I ran. Two; that the second time I went out I crossed the road from my friends who were gathered and continued on running. Firstly just like our physical houses, we don't let them get rundown and if we have maintenance to do, we get on to it before it becomes too big and it is costly to maintain and keep a house in good repair but we do it because it is necessary. So too our spiritual houses, we need to look after our spirit, we

This Friday night 19th July 7:30pm onwards You are invited to join us at our home 137 Kiroa Road, R.D.1 Hamilton For a night of spontaneous worship and fellowship Please bring some supper to share

Last night I had a couple of dreams and both of them were pointing to a lack of not being ready.  One was all these people turned up at my house and I was busying running around after them that I didn't even have time to get dressed, I was still in my pyjamas.   The other was we were going to see someone but before going I needed to get something to eat and go to the toilet. I felt that in both of these short dreams I needed to be prepared, needed to be ready and I believe this is something the Lord is doing at the moment, especially with me.  I am finding myself 'de-cluttering' around the house, getting things ready and organised, putting boundaries back in place with time, just generally getting things sorted out and I feel the urgency in needing to do this.  As I look at my life and the way the Lord uses me, I often do prophetically what is going on in the spirit and so after having these dreams believe we are coming into a season that is going to be busy and we are ne

Yesterday I listened to a wonderful message from the Bethel weekly sermons on the Creative power of Thanksgiving. It was so good and something I talked a little about on Wednesday about giving thanks in all circumstances and how that changes our circumstances.  These are some of my thoughts as I searched the scriptures he brought; He talked from 2 Chron 20 about how Jehosphophat (King) feared the armies that were coming against him. Here was a king who was afraid. That gave me great encouragement right there, if a King can be afraid, then it's okay too if I am. I know for myself I am often afraid of things that I see coming and I don't know how to handle it. Neither did Jehosophophat and so he called all the people together and sought the Lord.  First position in our place of fear is to seek the Lord.  Verse 12 "For we have no power against the great multitude that is coming against us, nor do we know what to do, but our eyes are upon you." So often we don't kn

Something I have keep seeing at the moment is Jesus as the Rock.  Something and someone in which cannot be moved no matter what comes against it.  There is just such a strength, a stability, a force to be reakoned with, an immovability and it is encouraging me that no matter what is going on in my world there is strength in knowing that Jesus is my rock. 2 Sam 22:2 says "The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer.  The God of my strength in whom I trust.  My shield and the horn of my salvation.  My stronghold and my refuge.....v47  The Lord lives!  Blessed be my Rock!  Let God be exalted, the Rock of my salvation." Psalm 61:2 "When my heart is overwhelmed, lead me to the rock that is higher than I.  For you have been a shelter for me.  A strong tower from the enemy.  I will abide in Your tabernacle forever.  I will trust in the shelter of Your wings." I am thankful and reminded again that He is my strength and the one sure stable thing that never chan

Last night I had several dreams, each of them outlining that was looked like was going on on the outside was not what was happening in reality. One was a business that said it was doing something but it was actually a cover up for fraud. Another was a marriage relationship that lived in the same house, but lived separate lives in separate bedrooms. And the last was a house that was being sold and it looked all good until you got up on the roof and saw the brick work falling apart in places. Each of the pictures God showed me all pointed to things looking good on the outside but in reality things were very different. As a Christian we are called to be people of integrity, of truth - why, because it benefits us .  All things that God asks us to live is actually for our benefit rather than His as he wants us living in freedom and not fear.   I know it can be very difficult to live in truth sometimes especially if we can't make ends meet financially.  Or the marriage relations

Dear friends, last night I had a dream and in this dream I saw myself protecting Aliens from being shot and I took a bullet for them so they could escape. As I woke up the scripture in 1 Peter 2:11 kept coming to me which talks of us as "aliens and strangers in the world" which we are and the more we stand for the things of God and His word, the more we will stand out as aliens from a foreign land that people just don't understand and want to harm in whatever way that may look like, whether that is with words, with judgement or whatever. I saw myself protecting them and that is our call as a christian is to protect our brother or sister in Christ as we are part of the same family.  More often than not we actually see more hurt come from our brother and sister in Christ than from the world, but we are called to protect one another from harm. In Exodus 22:21 it says "Do not mistreat an alien or oppress him, for you were aliens in Egypt."  We are called to gra
