… the One who is living in you is far greater than the one who is in the world. (1 John‬ ‭4:4‬) You wake, but you’re not alone. Your dreams may have disturbed you, but you weren’t alone. You check yourself in the mirror, but you’re not alone. Your thoughts drift to the day ahead, but you won’t be alone. You have much to do today, and much to accomplish, but you won’t be alone. You finally grab five minutes to recuperate on your own, but you’re still not alone… He will never l

Never retaliate when someone treats you wrongly, nor insult those who insult you, but instead, respond by speaking a blessing over them—because a blessing is what God promised to give you. For the Scriptures tell us: Whoever wants to embrace true life and find beauty in each day must stop speaking evil, hurtful words and never deceive in what they say. Always turn from what is wrong and cultivate what is good; eagerly pursue peace in every relationship, making it your prize.

So consider carefully how Jesus faced such intense opposition from sinners who opposed their own souls, so that you won’t become worn down and cave in under life’s pressures. (‭‭Heb 12:3‬) ‘Sinners who opposed their own souls’ this goes to show that we were created to know instinctively right from wrong. We can thank GOD that His Holy Spirit is no respecter of persons and like a caring Mother doesn’t let go until He shakes away everything that is wrong and clinging to us. Wha

Jesus said to them, “I am the Bread of Life. Come every day to me and you will never be hungry. Believe in me and you will never be thirsty… I have come out of heaven not for my own desires, but for the satisfaction of my Father who sent me.” (‭‭John‬ ‭6:35‬) My old tutor, John McKay called it ‘The Drama of Salvation.’ The beauty of our Salvation story is that it’s living, Interactive and constantly evolving. This means we ALL get to play an amazing part in the storyline – ea

…Since the first day you began to pray for understanding and to humble yourself before your God, your request has been heard in heaven. (‭‭Dan‬ ‭10:12‬) Keep aware that these two attributes are the very ones that transformed the once beautiful Lucifer into Satan! In Isaiah 14, Lucifer looked upon his own (created) beauty and wisdom and he decided (through the created gift of free will), that he was good enough to sit alongside GOD! He declared, “I will make myself like the Mo

For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people’s sins against them. (‭‭2 Cor 5:19) I’ve met hurting people who can’t (seemingly won’t) accept this simple truth and their sorrow somehow manages to twist this truth by piling on so many caveats that it loses its place as one of the greatest freeing truths in the Bible. But the Holy Spirit in our hearts CONFIRMS that Our Jesus IS The Christ of GOD, and He is given to us as: Our Saviour. Our Red

You draw near to those who call out to you, listening closely, especially when their hearts are true. Psa ‭145:18) I received a few work emails over the week that weren’t very pleasant and to be honest, I didn’t take the criticism too well. (I’m actually not telling you this for some sort of support, but to point out that my reaction wasn’t in any way holy). My hurt didn’t throw me onto Christ but into self-justification. In effect, I got angry and immediately set about tryin

Then Pilate responded, “Oh, so then you are a king?” “You are right.” Jesus said, “I was born a King, and I have come into this world to prove what truth really is. And everyone who loves the truth will receive my words.” Pilate looked at Jesus and said, “What is truth?” (John‬ ‭18:37) Bill Johnson tells a great story: A man was riding his bike through the local zoo when he happened to see a lion grab the sleeve of a little girl who had gotten too close to the bars of its cag

Bless your enemies; no cursing under your breath. Laugh with your happy friends when they’re happy; share tears when they’re down. Get along with each other; don’t be stuck-up. Make friends with nobodies; don’t be the great somebody. (‭‭Rom 12:14) A bunch of us were asked to accompany John McKay up North for a teaching weekend. I clocked her as I headed off for a bathroom break. She had her head in her hands and wasn’t paying any attention. She looked so sad and just sat star

GOD ’s Message, the God who made you in the first place… “Don’t be afraid, I’ve redeemed you. I’ve called your name. You’re mine. When you’re in over your head, I’ll be there with you. When you’re in rough waters, you will not go down. When you’re between a rock and a hard place, it won’t be a dead end— Because I am GOD, your personal God, The Holy of Israel, your Savior. (‭‭Isa 43:1) This is a message to all those who read this. Those struggling with depression. Those whose

Let joy be your continual feast. Make your life a prayer. And in the midst of everything be always giving thanks, for this is God’s perfect plan for you in Christ Jesus. (‭‭1 Thes ‭5:16) My mentor Les would underscore that grumbling is the language of hell, whereas gratitude is the language of Heaven. But how do we give thanks in all circumstances, especially when our circumstances are horrible? Only by keeping hold of the One Who knows the way through the mess … the one who

(GOD speaking) “… you are my witnesses.” GOD ’s Decree. “You’re my handpicked servant So that you’ll come to know and trust me, understand both that I am and who I am. Previous to me there was no such thing as a god, nor will there be after me. I, yes I, am GOD. I’m the only Savior there is. I spoke, I saved, I told you what existed long before these upstart gods appeared on the scene. And you know it, you’re my witnesses, you’re the evidence.” GOD ’s Decree. “Yes, I am God.

(GOD speaking) “Honor me by trusting in me in your day of trouble. Cry aloud to me, and I will be there to rescue you.” (‭‭Psa 50:15‬ Monday’s here and another week begins – with all its connotations. We all have a choice too, we can either listen to the la la running through our minds, and sink into the funk of a myriad scenarios of ‘but what if…’ or, we could simply ‘choose’ to trust GOD, cry aloud to Him to rescue us and then trust Him to act …! This then is the life that

Hatred keeps old quarrels alive, but love draws a veil over every insult and finds a way to make sin disappear. (Pro 10:12‬) So love finds a way to make sin disappear! What an amazing statement. If GOD has made love that powerful then what do we want from love? Most of us will agree that when we mess up (and we do – often), we don’t want recrimination. What we actually want is kind, constant, and honest communication. We want to see love in action and not a rebuke. We want to

If I speak with human eloquence and angelic ecstasy but don’t love, I’m nothing but the creaking of a rusty gate. If I speak God’s Word with power, revealing all his mysteries and making everything plain as day, and if I have faith that says to a mountain, “Jump,” and it jumps, but I don’t love, I’m nothing. If I give everything I own to the poor and even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr, but I don’t love, I’ve gotten nowhere. So, no matter what I say, what I believe,

… Saving is all his idea, and all his work. All we do is trust him enough to let him do it…. He creates each of us by Christ Jesus to join him in the work he does, the good work he has gotten ready for us to do, work we had better be doing. (‭‭Eph 2:7) We decorated our offices each year and rather than pay a decorator for the service, the staff did the work and we shared the monies out between them. I was in my office handling the calls while my secretary was on a desk cleani

Pour out all your worries and stress upon him and leave them there, for he always tenderly cares for you. (‭‭1 Pet 5:7‬) I’m learning, (and sometimes a lot slower than I need to), that there’s only one thing more destructive than a toxic conversation, or listening with approval to bitter gossip – it’s agreeing with the circumstances, giving up on GOD’s intervention, and sulkily feeling sorry for yourself! So I go back to the faithful old poem … As children bring their broken

Don’t think for a moment that you know it all… (Pro 3:7) We’re great at incorrectly joining the dots on situations, always surmising the end before it properly plays through. “I knew this would happen!” Or “Why me? Why always me?” Or “What’s the point …” The thing is, when it eventually plays out, most of what we thought would happen didn’t work out that way at all. But the unseen toxic, negative damage we created within our body and soul is terrible and needs to be dealt wit

You will answer me, God; I know you always will, like you always do as you listen with love to my every prayer. (‭‭Psa 17:6‬) Read it again (slowly…), then open your mouth and tell your Heavenly Father what’s been on your heart. He knows it all anyway, so don’t sugar coat anything…! ❤️ #health #answeredprayers #grace #worship #loveinaction #kindness #lovingothers #amazinggrace #choices #loving #prayersanswered #trust #prayer #friend #belief #trustingGod #thanks #saviour #chri

I can testify that the Word is true and deserves to be received by all, for Jesus Christ came into the world to bring sinners back to life—even me, the worst sinner of all! (1 Tim 1:15) We’re living in unprecedented times where the effects of unchecked fear grows rampant in our society. Fear from false news, fear of Covid-19, fear of job losses, fear of financial issues, fear of physical and mental issues, fear of loneliness, fear of what we’re becoming …! But take heart, for
