A couple of weeks ago I have had several visions which I believe is a prophetic picture of what God is currently doing and what He is about to do.   Fi rstly, I saw ahead on the highway a huge explosion with black smoke billowing up and as I came to it I saw people had been burnt and I could smell the smell of burnt flesh.   Our God is consuming fire (Heb 12:29).  His love is in the fire.   Something the Lord has been talking to us about is the fall of the acts of the flesh, the strength of man.  This vision I saw was a representation that of the fire of Gods love is coming and going to burn away the things of the flesh, the things that were not of the Lo rd, the things that may have been good in their time but today is a new day.   Perhaps the familiar things we are so used to that we don't even know it's there.  The way we might speak, the way we might act, the way we might respond that are familiar with us but aren't necessarily of the Kingdom natur...

I have been reading through the book of Song of Songs and a couple of scriptures that jumped out at me as I read it this time was all vineyards. In Song of Songs it reads 1:6  "My mother's sons were angry with me and made me take care of the vineyards; my own vineyard I had to neglect." So often we can be looking after other people's vineyards, other peoples fields, and our own can come into a state of neglect, often without even realising it.  In the scripture above it writes they 'made me take care of',  but often it's not other people making it, rather we sometimes can't say no,  or perhaps we have lost sight of what is important, or we have just got busy and we haven't even noticed. I know as a mother we often look after our children's welfare before our own.  In our job we can look after the welfare of the business we are working for, or if we are the boss, the employees in our care.  In marriage we become familiar with one another that ...

This morning the Lord revealed to me that there is a battle going on for destinies, for promises, for dreams that are still yet to be fulfilled.  There is a battle going on for the dreams that He has put on our heart and we need to stand up and fight the fight of faith and declare what the Lord would declare over these dreams and destines that are waiting for us to walk in and for those things we have already begun to walk in that is this time is being contested. In the natural there is a fight going on for life and death, and so too in the spiritual.  Life and death over the promises and future destines that He has declared over each one of us. Now is the time to stand and fight and declare life and truth to those things He has put on your heart, those things that have been prophetically declared over you. It is almost as though the focus has been on Covid 19 and what's happening in the natural and so things are 'slipping away' without us even realising it as our ey...

Last Sunday I shared about being 'Positioned for Expansion' but this morning the Lord added more to that.  If you would like to watch the video recording of last weeks service it is on the Church/Worship page of this website. This morning I was planting some plants in my garden.  Some plants I had already and they had been waiting for me to put them in, others I bought just prior to lock down knowing that if I didn't plant it now I would have nothing later in the season when I needed it.  So in the initial rush to get into 'lockdown', I went to the plant shop thinking about the future.  Right now we as a people need to be encouraged to look at the future and hope that we have, not just focused on the 'now' of our situations.   So planting these plants this morning the question came "What are we planting now that we will be expecting a harvest from later?"   If we as a people are expecting an inheritance or a harvest further down the line, then ...

Something I realised in my recent trip away to the Canterbury region is again the confirmation and call of my heart to see the bride raised up to be who she is called to be. A pure spotless bride who is ready for her beloved and walking in everything He has promised us as His authority here on the earth.  I realised afresh as I listen to different people, hear and see different reasons as to why people aren't going to church, or perhaps have recently moved churches for some reason, basically peoples hurts and frustrations regarding 'Church', that there is a disconnect in how people see things and how the word of the Lord the bible teaches us in how we ought to love one another and forgive one another.  Hence why we are seeing a 'powerless' church.  The word says that if we bite and devour one another we will be destroyed (Gal 5:15) All of us have a heart and passion, yours might be for the lost, it might be for the single parents, or the sick, etc. but the Lord...

"Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path." This scripture has been jumping out in my heart most of the week. When we don't know where we are going or what we are doing -         " His word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path". When we can't find our peace and living from a place of fear and anxiety -          " His word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path". When everything seems to be falling apart and you can't find a way through -          " His word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path". His word gives us peace in the midst of the storm, faith in the midst of fear, hope in times of despair and discouragement.  His word sustains and gives us life when all else is failing.  I encourage you today if you are struggling in any way, take some time to spend in His word and then everything will fall back into place and His peace that passes understanding will com...

This morning the Lord has been talking about double mindedness speaking from a position of seeking the Lord re direction.  This seems to be a constant struggle for Jim and I.  Do we ...... or do we do.....? We are questioning direction, things that have been started, do they continue and the reason why the questions come are usually from not seeing what we believe we should be seeing or perhaps because of finances, or was it just the promise for a season? Matt 12:25  says "Every Kingdom divided against itself will be ruined and every city or household divided against itself will not stand". We are seeking the Lord from a heart to hear His voice and move with what He is saying and yet we constantly 'wobble'.  And in so doing we don't make decisions at all and we stay with what is familiar even if it's uncomfortable and perhaps not working. Over the Christmas holidays we sold a section we believed the Lord told us to buy.  Land in Waharoa.  A p...
