Recently we have been being challenged as to what it is to be 'family' and that when things arise, when confrontation happens, when offences come, in what ever way, we are so used to 'running' from the issues and not dealing with it.  This sort of thinking comes from an 'orphan' mentality, one in which we don't know that confrontation can be a good thing as it looks at truths that actually set us and others, free.  That in running away from the issue we don't allow God to heal, to restore, to reconcile, to honour, all sorts of issues are not actually dealt with when we run from confrontation, when we run from offences or hurt and we miss out on what could be if we trusted God to deal with our situations. We have also talked about submitting ourselves to others and what that may look like.  Recently I had a picture of an adult going around and around in a school yard because he would not honour the authority of the school headmaster and that authority w...

The Lord has been talking to me this morning through the book of Deuteronomy and some gems I would like to share: Chapter one Deut 1:6 “You have dwelt long enough at this mountain, turn and take your journey.....” (This\these is/are not the full scripture/s but they are what jumped out and spoke to me) It is time to turn and take our journey. Many times we go around the same mountains but the Lord says, now turn and take your journey. It is a time of stepping out and into a new place with the Lord. Things are changing and shifting and we cannot continue to stay in the same places that we have been travelling as it is a new day and we have to leave the old behind and move into the new the Lord has for us, even though it may be a little scary as it is not familiar, or we don’t know the way forward, but we need to come to a place of trust in the Lord and move into what He has for us and not continue going around and around the same things that we have been going around and around in. ...

It is with great pleasure we can announce that this year the Wednesday night worship  has begun BUT THERE IS A DIFFERENCE!! The gatherings will now be held on the premises of Life Church in Kent Street but please note this is not a Life Church gathering but a Glory Release Ministries Gathering. Why:  God continues talking about being prepared for expansion and so we need more space for where we believe He is taking us all and Life Church has blessed us to allow us to use their premises in order  for us to grow into what God has called us to be. God continues to grow the vision and He continues to talk  about 'Enlarging the place of your tent - stretch out the tent pegs - Isaiah 54 And so out of obedience and faith to what we believe and where The Lord  is multiplying  and moving,  we move to grow with what He is doing  and be prepared in whatever ways we can be. So we will share more about this and what we believ...

Wednesday night worship leaders We are desperate for someone to come on board and head the arena of Worship leading at our gatherings in the arena of Music and songs.  If you love Jesus, the Holy Spirit and others, are willing to go where the Holy Spirit is leading, alongside releasing others in their sound, and believe and want to be a part of a massive move of God in this nation then please contact me.  If you know someone else who may want to be involved, please pass this onto them.

Something God is talking about to me and to others at the moment is about being a part of a family, no longer an individual doing their own thing.    Who is our family? We are part of a body, and this is something I have been encouraging a lot over the years that we are not individuals, that none of us have it all, we need each other.  We are a body and all of us are different parts and without the other parts we are not complete.  A hand needs an arm, a foot needs a leg and without it they totally useless and unable to function.  We need each others giftings' and anointings' that God has given each one of us, in order to be a complete body, not lacking anything so that we can function as we are called to function, whole and complete. We recently came back from a trip to Portugal and while I was there one of the many things God was showing me and reminding me of was who my family was and that was the people at home in NZ who loved me, who knew me, who unders...

Reading my bible this morning and this jumped out of it. I just had to put it up as it is so what I would say  Its a quote taken from the Revival Study Bible and its an incert along with the word: The time is Now! (2 Cor 6:2) " Everyone should sense the urgency of the days in which we live. While there is a might move of God sweeping the world, there is also an ominous fear gripping the hearts o f millions. You can read about it in the headlines and hear about it on the evening news. Throughout the world, there is a deep concern about the future. The Bible says, "Seek the Lord while He may be found, call upon Him while He is near". (Isa 55:6). We are living in a season of grace. God has chosen to bless, not curse. He has chosen mercy, not judgment. But, my friend, this could change at any moment. God wants to send revival to you and your household now. There is no promise of tomorrow.  Now is the time to allow the light of the gospel of Christ to shine into the deep d...
