A dark night of the soul! That is an expression I often hear as I travel throughout the U.S. and abroad. Seemingly, many believers are going through a process that is difficult and painful. Nevertheless it is for a fruitful cause.
There are different concepts and opinions about faith. Some of what is called faith I would call hope. At other times I have heard people pray in optimism, thinking that mental persuasion is faith. Faith is more than persuasion and optimism, it is...
Here we have 2 guys that are named from their birth as James and John but then get renamed by Jesus to ‘Boanerges’. Their new name means: SONS OF THUNDER
Here is an outline of what I am perceiving about Christchurch and beyond, and what we are perceiving as a group. I hope this resonates with many people in New Zealand but am concerned that it will be heard by very few. I hope...
From the moment of our first surrender to Jesus Christ, as soon as we invite Him to live in us, He moves into our spirit. From that moment on we can live from His life. All we have to do is keep our soul to spirit connection open and flowing. Developing habits that help our relationship with God grow ever deeper helps.
We can assess where we are in our resting in Him by looking at our internal trust levels, identifying which step we are on at any given moment and then quickly use these steps to trust our way to victory. Every attack and every crisis will push us into a lesser state of trusting and we need to have quick ways to bring ourselves back into full effectiveness.
I saw a huge wave moving along. At the bottom of the wave the water colour was green brackish colour. There were people swimming in it oblivious to what was around them. The top of the wave was a beautiful blue and white colouration. This wave represents the new move of God that is upon us.
When the major earthquake hit Christchurch, I felt compelled to watch the horror on TV as I tried to recognise landmarks that we had seen only two years before, where we had stayed only a 40 minute stroll from the city centre. I wept as I watched,
I believe that God is giving to passionate believers a window of opportunity to be “Stirred up by the Holy Spirit” for this hour that we are living in.
Firstly I do not feel that it is time to be judgmental in what has and is happening. Anybody can be a self proclaimed prophet in hindsight. We don’t need to be judgmental people at this time, but instrumental. This I will explain more about in a moment.
“For the earnest expectation of the creation waits for the manifestation of the sons of God” It can be also said this way: “That all of creation is waiting for the revealing of the sons of God”.
Earthquake Thoughts - A conversation with God, 20 June 2011
In my mind I see one region, surrounded by 3 previously undiscovered fault-lines. 7500 earthquakes in less than 10 months, 5 significant earthquakes causing widespread utility outage. A...
There are many opinions about what God is doing in the earthquakes that are continuing to rock Christchurch. The combination of natural and spiritual events may be too much to get our heads around completely, but we seem driven to try to make some sense of these things. Many opinions are just human points of view and do not come from the heart of God or represent who He is.
