In reflection This morning the Lord is showing me through the book of Numbers 21:4-10 how easily when things don't go as planned how we sow our seeds of discontent, our seeds of discouragement and start to blame and point the finger at perhaps those who are leading us, our spouses, our parents, our boss. Here is the story of Moses leading the people through to the promised land but in order to get there they had to go around Edom and they grew impatient in the process and started to speak against God and against Moses.   "Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness?  There is no bread!  There is no water! And we detest this miserable food!" Then the Lord sent venomous snakes among them, they bit the people and many Israelites died. The people came to Moses and said, "We have sinned when we spoke against the Lord and against you.  Pray that the Lord will take the snakes away from us".  So Moses prayed for the people. We reap what w...

As a parent we give advice to our children so that they will not come to harm, we want to see them prosper in all they do.  So too, the Lord, our Father, has given us and continues to give us advice through wisdom and understanding that comes from others, and through the word of God, so we will not be harmed and prosper in all we do.  But so often like teenagers, we don't want to listen to our parents, we want to do it our own way and in so doing sometimes learn the hard way. I don't know about you but there are many things that the Lord has spoken to me through others and through His word, that I have not heard the first, second, or third time,  and it's not until something happens do we 'seek' council and actually have ears to hear what others are saying to us. Wisdom and understanding are all around us all of the time, but so often we are not ready to hear it until something happens and we search out the 'why'.  Like the warnings to have a disaster pa...

Dear friends, I write this from Beira Mozambique where the major disaster stuck only a couple of months and as we walk around and see the effects of the damage but also the resiliency in people, we realise just how blessed we are in so many ways that we take for granted on a daily basis. A word that the Lord has given while here is one from Genesis 21:14-20.  It is the story of Hagar and her son Ishmael being sent away into the desert from Abraham and Sarah.  It must have seemed for Hagar that everything that she had believed in, hoped for in the promise of her son, had just fallen apart as Abraham sends her away.  In verse 15 the water she had was gone and she sat down away from her son so she wouldn't see him die.   Because to her there was no hope left. But in v17 God hears the boy crying and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven and said to her, " What is the matter, Hagar?  Do not be afraid; God has heard the boy crying as he lies there. ...

Over the course of the past few days I saw a couple of pictures I would like to share. 1.  I saw a real estate agent coming and helping prepare to shift a person.  The person had lots of rubbish to deal with that needed to be put in black rubbish bags and taken out.  I kept coming along and checking on the progress.  Initially the real estate agent had a suit and tie on but as he put his hand in to help the person get ready for the shift, he took more and more clothes off as he was  mucking in and helping doing the work.  Eventually all the rubbish had been cleared up and taken out and the real estate agent turned round to the person on the couch and gave him some money. 2.  I saw a bunch of people all standing together in the water, but the water wasn't moving, the people weren't moving and like any pool of water if you stand in the pool for a long time without movement you get cold.  I saw myself getting out of the pool and moving on be...

Rubbish & Fruitfulness,  Spiritual Deception,  Open Door for Ministry and New Doors,  Solid food and abundance. Last night I had a series of visions which I share with you as one may be a word in season for you.  I haven't added scriptures at this point to back them up because I am preaching in church this morning and need to keep going.   But if you want to know more about any of them, or they speak to you, or you want scripture that speaks to all of these (as it does for each situation), then please feel free to email me on sarah@gloryreleaseministries.org and I can pray into with you. 1.     Getting rid of the rubbish.  A time of removal of the things that clutter up your lives. A time where you get rid of things you no longer need, that are broken, no longer working etc in order to become more fruitful. I saw a picture of a car and trailer going to get rid of the rubbish and man opening a path on the highway in order...

I am reading some 'meaty' scriptures this morning from Matt 10 v16  "I am sending you out like sheep among wolves.  Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.  Be on your guard, you will be handed over to the local councils and be flogged in the synagogues. ....v22 You will be hated by everyone because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved."  v26  "So do not be afraid of them, for there is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed or hidden that will not be made known. v32  "Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. But whoever disowns me before others, I will disown before my father in heaven." For many I believe we have this image that in Christ and in His love and showing his love to all around that it is just going to be wonderful.  But what I have found, and perhaps this is just my experience, but the more I have gone deeper in the Lord, in His love, the...

To watch the live message preached, click on this link Are you feeling discouraged, tempted to give up on what the Lord has told you, 'believing and yet not really believing' because you haven't yet seen the promise in which the Lord has given you.   Perhaps for healing, for your children, for your ministry? I want to encourage you this morning "Go again", don't give up, the promise is on the way. "Though there be no fruit on the vine, yet will I rejoice in the Lord." (Ham 3:17) There is this sense for some that it's been a hard long road and it feels like there is no fruit from all the labour, yet the Lord would say to you this morning "Go again" .  Don't give up, keep going. Like Elijah who in 1 Kings 18:41-45 tells the story of hearing the rain coming in a time where there was a drought and yet he heard the sound.  "Go and look toward the sea"... "There is nothing there"....Elijiah said "Go back...
