So make wisdom your quest— search for the revelation of life’s meaning. (‭‭Pro ‭4:5‬) I remember saying that I ‘woke up’ at the age of 27 – and I then began wondering what life was really all about! Then at 29 my eyes opened and I ‘grew up’ – and recognised that in order to survive in this world, I had certain responsibilities that I couldn’t shirk anymore! By the age of 31, I had already searched through and studied most of the worlds religions and ways of ‘enlightenment’ –

With the arrival of Jesus, the Messiah, that fateful dilemma is resolved. Those who enter into Christ’s being-here-for-us no longer have to live under a continuous, low-lying black cloud. A new power is in operation. The Spirit of life in Christ, like a strong wind, has magnificently cleared the air, freeing you from a fated lifetime of brutal tyranny at the hands of sin and death. God went for the jugular when he sent his own Son. He didn’t deal with the problem as something

How blessed and relieved are those who have confessed their corruption to God! For he wipes their slates clean and removes hypocrisy from their hearts. Before I confessed my sins, I kept it all inside; my dishonesty devastated my inner life, causing my life to be filled with frustration, irrepressible anguish, and misery. The pain never let up, for your hand of conviction was heavy on my heart. My strength was sapped, my inner life dried up like a spiritual drought within my

Don’t love the world’s ways. Don’t love the world’s goods. Love of the world squeezes out love for the Father. Practically everything that goes on in the world—wanting your own way, wanting everything for yourself, wanting to appear important—has nothing to do with the Father. It just isolates you from him. The world and all its wanting, wanting, wanting is on the way out—but whoever does what God wants is set for eternity. (‭‭1 John‬ ‭2:15) (Jesus speaking) “… I have given t

It wasn’t so long ago that you were mired in that old stagnant life of sin. You let the world, which doesn’t know the first thing about living, tell you how to live. You filled your lungs with polluted unbelief, and then exhaled disobedience. We all did it, all of us doing what we felt like doing, when we felt like doing it, all of us in the same boat. It’s a wonder God didn’t lose his temper and do away with the whole lot of us. Instead, immense in mercy and with an incredib

(Jesus speaking) “I am a true sprouting vine, and the farmer who tends the vine is my Father. He cares for the branches connected to me by lifting and propping up the fruitless branches and pruning every fruitful branch to yield a greater harvest.” (John‬ ‭15:1) There are so many of GOD’s children that are feeling demeaned, downtrodden, unloved… fruitless. Child of the Living GOD, don’t go by your transitory feelings! Read the Scripture again and ‘see’ how our Heavenly Father

… Don’t give up; don’t be impatient; be entwined as one with the Lord. Be brave and courageous, and never lose hope. Yes, keep on waiting—for he will never disappoint you! (‭‭Psa ‭27:14‬) We joke about kids on a car journey always asking, “Are we there yet?” (and we all know how annoying it can be), but are we really any different when it comes to having patience? The instruction to us in times like these is clear – Don’t give up; don’t be impatient; be entwined as one with t

God will continually revitalize you, implanting within you the passion to do what pleases him. (‭‭Phil ‭2:13) We’ve all got our own ideas as to what pleases GOD, but what does He actually tell us? For I desire steadfast love and not sacrifice, the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings. (Hos 6:6) This is another thing you do: you cover the altar of the LORD with tears, with weeping and with groaning, because He no longer regards the offering or accepts it with favor fro

He alone is my safe place; his wrap-around presence always protects me. For he is my champion defender; there’s no risk of failure with God. So why would I let worry paralyze me, even when troubles multiply around me? (‭‭Psa‬ ‭62:2‬) I learned a long time ago that there is GOD’s perfect will and His passive will. His perfect will is that all of mankind should embrace just what He did for us through Jesus the Christ, His Son, by saving us all from ourselves. His passive will i

Yes, God is more than ready to overwhelm you with every form of grace, so that you will have more than enough of everything—every moment and in every way. He will make you overflow with abundance in every good thing you do. (‭‭2 Cor‬ ‭9:8‬) It’s not always about money. Let’s look at just a few things that we can feel drained of during a typical day: Love. Kindness. Patience. Self control. Knowledge. Wisdom. Peace. Joy. Strength. Hope. Kindness. Help… Now let’s see how we

May everyone who knows your mercy keep putting their trust in you, for they can count on you for help no matter what. O Lord, you will never, no never, neglect those who come to you. (‭‭Psa 9:10‬) I just saw a video posted by Lisa Bevere on Instagram showing medical staff on the roof of a Hospital in America worshipping our GOD. AWESOME!!! https://www.instagram.com/p/B-WAkLRF5vH/?igshid=1tdhhblyj4nqk 🎼🎹 Way Maker, Miracle Worker, Promise Keeper, Light in the Darkness, my GO

Make God the utmost delight and pleasure of your life, and he will provide for you what you desire the most. Give God the right to direct your life, and as you trust him along the way you’ll find he pulled it off perfectly! (‭‭Psa ‭37:4) Spend a few minutes just now and think … “when was the last time I genuinely allowed myself to ‘connect’ with GOD?” Do you remember how amazing it felt, how all your cares seemed to fade away? GOD hasn’t changed. Go visit with your Heavenly P

Joyfully you teach them the proper path, even when they go astray. Keep showing the humble your path, and lead them into the best decision. Bring revelation-light that trains them in the truth. (‭‭Psa 25:8) How many of our prayers begin with a question, or with a request? The Bible teaches us that GOD knows what is best for us and that it’s our arrogance – in thinking that we know best, that keeps the real ‘best’ from us. Child of the Living GOD, it’s not the self-sufficient

“… if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land.” You’ve only got to scan social media for a few minutes to see that we’ve left all boundaries of sensibility behind and that the awful words of practicing satanists have truly entered society: “whatever YOU want to do will become the law!” Even the Media is recognising that the e

Lord, I have chosen you alone as my inheritance. You are my prize, my pleasure, and my portion. I leave my destiny and its timing in your hands. Your pleasant path leads me to pleasant places. I’m overwhelmed by the privileges that come with following you, for you have given me the best! The way you counsel and correct me makes me praise you more, for your whispers in the night give me wisdom, showing me what to do next. Because you are close to me and always available, my co

(Jesus speaking) “I am the sprouting vine and you’re my branches. As you live in union with me as your source, fruitfulness will stream from within you—but when you live separated from me you are powerless.” (‭‭John‬ ‭15:5‬) A few weeks ago the “BE KIND” campaign was launched and the Media was full of people proclaiming their support to it. Now we see just how ‘kind’ we can be in the face of a pandemic, as we hog all we want for ‘our’ families at the shops yet leave supermark

Haven’t you experienced how kind and understanding he has been to you? Don’t mistake his tolerance for acceptance. Do you realize that all the wealth of his extravagant kindness is meant to melt your heart and lead you into repentance? (‭‭Rom‬ ‭2:1) Mankind is learning again (the hard way), not to mistake GOD’s tolerance for his acceptance of how we choose to live in his world. Lord Jesus, help me to bless and not curse, to intercede and not judge, to be like you and love wit

“You say, ‘It’s too hard to serve the Lord,’ and you turn up your noses at my commands,” says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies. (‭‭Mal‬ ‭1:13‬) “How?” We say. “I ask you to love and serve each other – to think better of each other than you do of yourselves.” “But..!” We say. “But what?” “But you don’t know how horrible, and angry, and smelly, and downright nasty some of these people can be…!” “Just who – are ‘these people?’” “You know Lord… they’re the ones who have made themselve

“You say, ‘It’s too hard to serve the Lord,’ and you turn up your noses at my commands,” says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies. (‭‭Mal‬ ‭1:13‬) “How?” We say. “I ask you to love and serve each other – to think better of each other than you do of yourselves.” “But..!” We say. “But what?” “But you don’t know how horrible, and angry, and smelly, and downright nasty some of these people can be…!” “Just who – are ‘these people?’” “You know Lord… they’re the ones who have made themselve

But the Lord has paid for the freedom of his servants, and he will freely pardon those who love him. He will declare them free and innocent when they turn to hide themselves in him. (‭‭Psa 34:22‬) The more I think about ‘freedom,’ the more I consider its opposite – bondage. Bondage to fear, toxic relationships, wrong decisions and choices … all these have consequences – mental, physical and spiritual, that will ultimately come back to bite us – hard! And most of us have lived
