As 2024 emerges, layers of deception will be stripped away from the Church. We will begin to see the depth of the bondage many believers have experienced and supported in their ignorance. In this process, the Lord will reveal a truth to His people regarding the hidden...
I’ve watched videos of people wanting to summit Mount Everest. These explorers attempting to summit such an extreme attitude relied on sherpas to carry the weight of the equipment they needed to make these ascents. Sherpas offered advice, prepared the trail, and...
Flying through the cloudy conditions of life when all the measurements we use to show us the way forward are no longer functioning reminds me of when I lost all electrical power in an aircraft I was flying. I was flying in instrument conditions when my instrument...
For the last week, I have been sensing we are coming into what I would call “a first time ever” season in culture, politics and world affairs. There are events about to transpire that will be seen as first time ever events in this generation. These one of a...
--> There are times in Church history when we discover the way forward by rediscovering a truth that was present in our past. Jude wrote a short letter describing the "salvation we all share”. He said this shared faith was “once for all delivered to the...
Yesterday, when the terrorist attacks in France were taking place, my daughter, Anna, was in Paris packing to return home the next day from a month abroad. Anna was part of a literary team who were teaching others how to tell stories. Anna’s trip took her to...
One of your greatest acts of love will be to extend mercy to those who refuse to see you as a transformed person. You need to extend mercy to these people because their opinion of you is based on a person who no longer exists. They are judging the shadows of your...

As we grow in our relationship with God we establish filters around our body, soul and spirit to filter out the negative things that want to enter our lives and pollute the pure deposit made by God. What caught in these filters will tell the story of how we chose to...
Well-meaning people will occasionally say things that are not true. One of those phrases is, “God will never give you more than you can handle.” These phrases are not evil or malicious – they are simply not true. We repeat them without thinking. They...
--> Making it hard for people to know God has never made sense to me. The barriers we put between people and God seem so out of touch with His heart. God is much larger than the seeds of fear and exclusion we plant in the garden of our relationships. This is...
For the last few days, I have been hearing the words, “a call to arms". The Oxford Dictionary defines the phrase as a call "to defend against a takeover". When I heard this call to arms, I saw a soldier in battle firing shots at an approaching enemy. The bullets...
When Jesus got into Simon's empty boat and asked him to go out into deep water to put down his nets, his partner's boat remained on shore. When Simon's boat took on a miraculous haul of fish his nets began to tear from the weight of the catch. Simon shouted for his...
You have wondered when – when will they come. In an unscheduled moment of time a divine encounter will take place. They will appear like a person who has stepped out from within the fog of your unexplored future. In that moment a seed of hope will be gently...
--> This morning in prayer, I saw the image of a person stepping off a curb. The picture was a freeze-frame image that captured the person mid-stride with one foot still on the sidewalk and the other foot in the air extended outward ready to step down onto the...
