Never doubt God’s mighty power to work in you and accomplish all this. He will achieve infinitely more than your greatest request, your most unbelievable dream, and exceed your wildest imagination! He will outdo them all, for his miraculous power constantly energizes you. (‭‭Eph 3:20) You might be reading this and thinking, “But why? Why does GOD love me?” Well .. first of all – and contrary to what you may think or believe, He doesn’t look at you as a failure – and never wil

“Surrender your anxiety! Be silent and stop your striving and you will see that I am God.” (‭‭Psa 46:10‬) One of the best things anyone ever said to me when things were bad and I was struggling with a myriad of problems, was simply “GOD hasn’t forgotten you … He knows just where you live and even if you’re not listening, He knows your phone number!” Child of the Living GOD, “Stop struggling. Be still, and ‘know’ that I am ‘your’ GOD!” (Psa 46:10) ❤️ #health #answeredprayers #

“‘For here’s what I’m going to do: … I’ll pour pure water over you and scrub you clean. I’ll give you a new heart, put a new spirit in you. I’ll remove the stone heart from your body and replace it with a heart that’s God-willed, not self-willed. I’ll put my Spirit in you and make it possible for you to do what I tell you and live by my commands… You’ll be my people! I’ll be your God!” (‭‭Eze ‭36:24) A smile costs nothing, but gives much- It takes but a moment, but the memory

“Give secretly and your Father, who sees all you do, will reward you openly.” (‭‭Mat‬ ‭6:4‬) 26 years ago, like the Beverly Hillbillies, we moved over 250 miles away from our family and friends to a whole new life down South so that I could fulfil what I believed GOD wanted for my life and go study at a Bible College under John McKay. I managed to get a part time job in the afternoons, but our finances were dwindling fast with me working part time and earning only £5 per hour

(Jesus praying) “… And I ask not only for these disciples, but also for all those who will one day believe in me through their message.” (John‬ ‭17:20‬) Haven’t we all wanted this? “If only Jesus Himself would pray for me?” Well, He has! And here’s what he prayed… “I pray for them all to be joined together as one even as you and I, Father, are joined together as one. I pray for them to become one with us so that the world will recognize that you sent me. For the very glory yo

So search your hearts every day, my brothers and sisters, and make sure that none of you has evil or unbelief hiding within you. For it will lead you astray, and make you unresponsive to the living God. (Heb ‭3:7) Who would have thought that both evil and unbelief would be paired up together as having the same horribly negative affect? God, I invite your searching gaze into my heart. Examine me through and through; find out everything that may be hidden within me. Put me to t

Jesus said to his disciples, “Come, let’s take a break and find a secluded place where you can rest a while.” (Mark‬ ‭6:31‬) It’s been such a heavy week at work that these words really resonated with me this morning. For example… Me: “Hey how’s it going, long time no see?” Them: “it’s OK…” Me: “you Really OK, you seem a little down?” Them: “Just a lot on my mind right now… to be honest, I’ve been seeing a really nice lady and I’m thinking of leaving the wife!” Me: (shocked) “

…do not be worried, for the joy of the LORD is your strength and your stronghold. (‭‭Neh 8:10‬) Listen …! Can you hear it …?! Yes? That’s the sound of your Father GOD laughing at the antics of the enemy of your soul. Take strength from this sound Child of the Living GOD, because the Joy of the LORD is your strength and stronghold. ❤️ #health #answeredprayers #grace #worship #loveinaction #kindness #amazinggrace #choices #trust #prayer #friend #belief #trustingGod #christian #

My child, when the Lord God speaks to you, never take his words lightly, and never be upset when he corrects you. For the Father’s discipline comes only from his passionate love and pleasure for you. (‭‭Prov 3:11) It’s easy when GOD speaks to you through a burning bush, or scripture, or in dreams and visions. At least this is relatively private. And I’m not talking about horribly toxic, negative anger statements. But what about when He speaks words of correction to you throug

If you cover up your sin you’ll never do well. But if you confess your sins and forsake them, you will be kissed by mercy. (‭‭Pro ‭28:13) I was taking to a guy yesterday who had more excuses than a pregnant nun for the hole he was in and why he actually ‘preferred’ being there, and it got me thinking. I was running a company of about 40+ people some 20 years ago and our main client went bust, leaving us with the humongous debt of £400k! We tried our best to get out from under

“Pray like this: ‘Our Father, dwelling in the heavenly realms, may the glory of your name be the center on which our lives turn. Manifest your kingdom realm, and cause your every purpose to be fulfilled on earth, just as it is fulfilled in heaven. We acknowledge you as our Provider of all we need each day. Forgive us the wrongs we have done as we ourselves release forgiveness to those who have wronged us. Rescue us every time we face tribulation and set us free from evil. For

I am not asking that you remove them from the world, but I ask that you guard their hearts from evil, For they no longer belong to this world any more than I do. (John‬ ‭17:15) We certainly need our hearts guarding – especially from the onslaught of our OWN emotions! Vengeance, bitterness, anger, self-pity … Our expectation is that Jesus will accompany us into all the school playgrounds of life and beat up the bully that has been plaguing us. But instead of avenging us, Jesus

Listen to my testimony: I cried to God in my distress and he answered me. He freed me from all my fears! (‭‭Psa‬ ‭34:4‬) I have just spent some quality time going back through some diary notes I kept in my Bible: I’ve reviewed the times I’ve done stupid things – but GOD forgave me when I turned to Him for help and it came out good. Times I’ve acted selfishly and wickedly – but GOD forgave me when I turned to Him for help and it came out good. Times I’ve been ill, worried and

I waited and waited and waited some more, patiently, knowing God would come through for me. Then, at last, he bent down and listened to my cry. He stooped down to lift me out of danger from the desolate pit I was in, out of the muddy mess I had fallen into. Now he’s lifted me up into a firm, secure place and steadied me while I walk along his ascending path. A new song for a new day rises up in me every time I think about how he breaks through for me! Ecstatic praise pours ou

Whenever, though, they turn to face God as Moses did, God removes the veil and there they are—face-to-face! They suddenly recognize that God is a living, personal presence, not a piece of chiseled stone. And when God is personally present, a living Spirit, that old, constricting legislation is recognized as obsolete. We’re free of it! All of us! Nothing between us and God, our faces shining with the brightness of his face. And so we are transfigured much like the Messiah, our

… don’t let the passion of your emotions lead you to sin! Don’t let anger control you or be fuel for revenge, not for even a day. Don’t give the slanderous accuser, the Devil, an opportunity to manipulate you! …never let ugly or hateful words come from your mouth, but instead let your words become beautiful gifts that encourage others; do this by speaking words of grace to help them. … Lay aside bitter words, temper tantrums, revenge, profanity, and insults. But instead be ki

Give God the right to direct your life, and as you trust him along the way you’ll find he pulled it off perfectly! He will appear as your righteousness, as sure as the dawning of a new day. He will manifest as your justice, as sure and strong as the noonday sun. Quiet your heart in his presence and pray; keep hope alive as you long for God to come through for you. (‭‭Psa 37:5) The opening sentence says it all … ❤️ #health #answeredprayers #grace #worship #loveinaction #kindne

Peter said, “Change your life. Turn to God and be baptized, each of you, in the name of Jesus Christ, so your sins are forgiven. Receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The promise is targeted to you and your children, but also to all who are far away—whomever, in fact, our Master God invites.” He went on in this vein for a long time, urging them over and over, “Get out while you can; get out of this sick and stupid culture!” (‭‭Acts‬ ‭2:38) GOD is stretching out his loving hand

“Father, remove this cup from me. But please, not what I want. What do you want?” (Luke‬ ‭22:43) It’s easy to smile at the child having a prideful tantrum at the supermarket – unless the child happens to be yours! So the older children get the more we try to train them to make their own decisions – not just any decisions, but the ‘right’ ones. But are we any different when it comes to GOD? Do we prefer self-will to GOD’s will? We show our love to our Heavenly Father when we c

When you are tempted don’t ever say, “God is tempting me,” for God is incapable of being tempted by evil and he is never the source of temptation. Instead it is each person’s own desires and thoughts that drag them into evil and lure them away into darkness. Evil desires give birth to evil actions. And when sin is fully mature it can murder you! So my friends, don’t be fooled by your own desires! (‭‭Jam 1:13) We’ve all seen families ripped apart through the destructive decept
