Recently I have been challenged into a role I am not used to or specifically want to do and I am finding it difficult and at times want to run, but it is really good for me as I am learning and growing and learning to draw on Jesus in a whole new way.  But there have been times when I have wanted to run away and just be ‘free’ to do what I believe I am called to be.  But then the Lord reminds me that actually Sarah, this is what I am calling you to right now. I am continually reminded of a quote that Heidi Baker says “Lord I don’t do children”, and He replied “you do now”.     But in the process I am seeing around me   some people in the Christian church that this is very much the case that when challenged with something that they don’t want to do, then they move on instead of sticking with what the Lord has called them to or the place He has put them in.   And in this process we have to ask ourselves, is this actually about us, or is it about doing ...

The Lord has been talking recently to me about houses and different states of houses.  Some are quirky with all sorts of really cool things that are happening in them, some are being built and are yet unfinished, some the windows are boarded up and need the boards on the windows removed.  Some don’t yet have the power on and it is dark with a thief in the  darkness waiting.  There was one  that was perfect on pretty much everything except the fridge (often represents the heart) was too small. The initial plan In the process of thinking about different houses and the different stages each house was at, I thought about the British Programme “Grand Design”.  I  love watching this programme and seeing the ideas and the plans and where it originally starts with the dreams and the vision of how it will be, but along the process the building often takes longer than expected, costs run higher than projected, workers come and go, the question of whethe...

The past several weeks have been rather challenging for me and with the things that I find I am hitting in the spirit, it is difficult to not to 'retailiate' back.  (Not altogether successful I might add). I have been praying and asking The Lord for a long time now to 'open my eyes so that I would see' and now that prayer is being answered, but perhaps not in the way I had hoped but I know that it is good for me as it will grow me more in The Lord. Years ago I got called 'young and naive', words I have never forgotten as it made me look at myself and question if I was.  I have just today realised again that I am and want to continue to be. In fact I pray that I will remain young and naive in my spirit, that I remain childlike all the days of my life in faith toward God.  To me this morning young and naive showed me that it was a place that I believed in what the Word says.  I believe we can have a christian society where we love one another, forgive one anoth...

The other day I had a vision and in this vision I saw curtains being pulled on windows from the outside and I saw this other lady taking over ministering to someone and she was shouting in 'love' to this other person.  As I have pondered on this and what it meant I believe  there is a warning and a reminder of what is important that The Lord wants me/us to take heed of.  Especially as we enter into times of seeing more miraculous things taking place around us, as we see the spirit moving in lives or the giftings being released in increase,  and we get 'busier' in the things of God, please take note of what I believe The Lord is wanting us to be aware of, which is to maintain and keep alive that 'first love' relationship with The Lord of Lords and King of Kings. The windows that had curtains being pulled on it was the prophetic gifting being shut down and it led me to thinking of the scriptures in 1 Cor 13 about the gifts.  "If I speak in the tongues of me...

Last night I had a number of dreams/visions and in each one there was a scenario happening where there was opportunity to share the gospel, opportunity to warn someone of something I could see happening, opportunity to take advantage of but if we didn't act then that opportunity would be gone.  Opportunity to teach someone something that they were hiding from that they didn't need to.  So many opportunities and I thought of the scripture in Gal 6:10 which says "Therefore as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people especially to those who belong to the family of believers."  and in Eph 5:15 "Be very careful, then, how you live - not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.  Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what The Lord's will is." Recently we were driving to Hamilton to go to church but along the way we saw a woman on the road who looked dejected and looked like she needed a lift.  S...

Out for a walk this morning with my camera and the Lord spoke to me: Its all about perspective and what we choose to focus on.  We can all be looking at the same picture but see different things and it is what we choose to focus on is what we see and everything else can be a blur.   It can be right in front of us and we may not even see it.  Like the Kingdom of God, it is right in front of us but because we have our focus elsewhere we don't see it. Recently I went to the movie Noah and I saw all the possibilities of faith, the encouragement of how big God was, even though the detail of the movie may not have been totally to the word of the Lord.   Others however hated the movie because they saw how it didn't line up with the word or for whatever reason, but we both saw the same movie and came away with different views.  Not saying either one is right or wrong but sometimes we need to change our focus in order to see how others may see things differently or ...

I had a vision the other day and in this vision I was visiting an old lady and others too came and visited her as she was sick and we were trying to help her, but as we were visiting her, the state gave her a new house and she suddenly got up from her 'sickness', changed clothes and literally became a new lively person and as it turned out she wasn't sick at all, but she wanted acceptance and in the state giving her a house, it made her feel like she was wanted and a part of something. I believe this is a powerful word The Lord would bring about our true acceptance and love being found in Him and not in people or not in what we do or how people see us. I believe many people are suffering some form of sickness, perhaps depression or some other things, but in reality if you felt accepted, loved or wanted, that sickness would suddenly leave you.  In reality you are just longing to be loved, which is fine as we are all wanting to be loved. This really spoke to me of a past...
