One of the tactics of the enemy is to get you wrestling old stuff. The lies come in subtle and slow, catching you off-guard, building brick-upon-brick, familiar and yet veiled. So well layered that you think it is your stuff and you begin to wrestle with it. The wrestling though is not so much with […]
Dear Creative I have been pondering firstly, the concept of creativity and how closely it is linked to our being image-bearers of the Creator. And secondly, the fears people grapple with in creating because of the way society reacts or responds. One of the blockages to creating is that so much of what we create […]
Here are some things that are on my heart as we navigate this season and bring to a close the 3 day global fast. 1. It is finished. When Christ died and rose again His victory was full and complete. We are that generation long spoken of whose lives get to testify to that Truth. […]
Have you ever seen self-righteousness masquerade as truth-telling? There’s a strange habit you might have noticed among some believers who respond “with truth” to anything that is said in the negative, or that even slightly fails to reflect glistening hope, or that displays your brokenness. The “truth” comes as a glib correction with phrases like […]
When Jesus said, “unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you,” (John 6:53-58) it highly offended many of His followers who did not understand what He was saying or what it meant. In that culture the drinking of blood was hugely offensive and […]
Several conversations that I’ve had recently and an impression that I saw, made me aware of an age-old enemy strategy at play on a broad scale yet again to exhaust believers. Again and again his plan A seems to be to attack the root of faith in us because if our faith is shaken then […]
This is so cool; I’ve recently had quite a few people message me and say they’ve been thinking of me because a picture of my face pops into their mind. I enjoy that God is putting me on people’s minds or hearts, its a sign of His love and that He is moving on my […]
I know in revival culture we love to laugh and what a gift that is! Joy, which is more than laughter, is an even greater gift. It is something the world cannot give and the world should not be given the privilege of taking away. It is our constant because it is from Him. Jesus, […]
I considered again the Israelites en route to the promised land and heard their story echoing for our generation. How often are we en route to the land of promise but too short-sighted to even see it? How often have we grumbled and complained because the place of transition was too long, too uncomfortable, too […]
It’s easy to pattern yourself after someone else’s success, ministry or even calling. Social media glamorizes so much and certain things are more public and easier to celebrate which creates a pressure on believers to perform rather than to operate from rest. The applause of the crowd when you tell them of another person that […]
