Is it tough going at the moment? Are there giants in the land?

A few nights ago I had this dream where I saw many big ugly giants and vines trying to stop my way through to where I needed to go.   They were blocking my way through.   But there were two others with me and we slowly worked our way to the front of the line of giants and then we needed to go up higher through like a manhole up into the next level to get away from the giants.   All the giants too were trying to get higher as well.   As the three of us together helped each other we could get above and into the next level but the giants that were there trying in their own strength to get to the next level, they could not reach it. So many of us are trying to do things in our own strength and finding we are always falling short of what we see ahead of us, but at as we work together and help one another we can go places we never would be able to if we tried to on our own. We are called to be overcomers in Christ, but we need each other to help us to go places we...

From Revelation to Revelation

The Lord has been taking me on a journey lately that has challenged some of my thinking, challenged some of my belief systems in trying to bring together the word of God, the heart of God, and His unconditional love for his people and it is bringing me into such a freedom that I am so excited where the Lord may take this, I am so thankful to the Lord for this journey even though at times it has been very difficult. As ministers of the gospel (of which we are all as Christians called to be), part of our job in the Lord is to as it is written in 2 Timothy 15 is to “Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth”.  We are called to continually grow in our understanding, revelation and relationship with the Lord.   If we are remaining as we are ,then our relationship in the Lord is not a growing healthy one so anything that might challenge some of your thinking, challenge your walk in the Lord,...

Its a new day!

A new day dawning, Hope is rising, Faith restoring....... What I believing the Lord is saying at the moment is that we are stepping into new things, that things once promised that have died, the Lord is resurrecting, but we have to let go of the past and move from the place we have been in to allow those promises and dreams to come into being. God has so much for us in the future "There is too much victory ahead of me, I am overwhelmed with His love for me" The season we have been in is good, and has been great, a great place of intimacy with the beloved, a great place of learning, like the first house Jim and I were in after we were married, but it is time to move on, time to grow into maturity and walk in the promises the Lord has given each one of us from that place of intimacy and the knowing of who we are in Christ, alongside Christ, together in partnership with him and him alone. We are no longer dependant on man as our husband is our maker, he is our provider, tha...

My grace is sufficient.

Yesterday I had three pictures; One, people came bringing bad news. The second, others had been offended and shut me out. And the third, I was on a airport runway and another plane tried to take me off the runway before I could lift off and go where I was going, but I was able to get away from it. As I prayed about these pictures the Lord had given me I believed he said to me; “Be careful who you listen to and go with.  Things are going to try and bring discouragement and shut you out and they will try to take you off track but keep focused.  Build my church”. So discouragement and obstacles are trying to get in the way of the purposes of God being fulfilled in my life and those around me and hence why I share what the Lord showed me because I believe for many in this season of change right now, hold onto what you believe God has said over you and don’t allow the enemy to abort the promises in your life. Something over the last several weeks that keeps c...

Are you comfortable and familiar with things?

This morning I had this picture where I saw two large different animals that had somehow turned up in my home and they were taking over the lounge and they needed feeding. They were peaceful animals but the space they took was huge, taking over my lounge. As I asked the Lord what these animals were I saw that they were ‘comfortable’ and ‘familiar’ and I saw I was quite happy for them to stay as they weren’t bothering anybody but  they needed feeding and were taking up space. But I know that these ‘spirits’ are destructive to kingdom living. We can very easily become comfortable and familiar with things, with ways of doing things, of acceptance of things that are not of the Lord, of believing and justifying its alright if we continue to live the way we do, even of things such as pain and so we continue to accept it and live with it when the Lord may want to heal, things like ways of reacting, speaking or anger may also too be areas that you may have become comfortable and fami...

Words are powerful weapons

The Lord has been recently challenging me on some of the words I speak (even in the sharing of testimony) and the motives of the heart that underline those words that come out from my mouth.  Words are powerful things and if we allow the Lord to reveal what is underneath some of our words, then we realise what is actually at the root or at the heart of the words we speak that may need healing or truth spoken into such things. With our tongue comes either blessing or cursing. With our tongue the overflow of the heart speaks (Matt 12:34) With our tongue we can turn a whole ship, or set a spark which creates a huge fire that sets the whole course of our life (James 3:5) With our tongue we praise our Lord and Father and with it we curse men, who have been made in God’s likeness (James 3:19) Prov 19:16  “How much better to get wisdom than gold, to choose understanding rather than silver.” For example: are  the words I am speaking lifting me up and putting ...
