God spoke to me this morning for those in ‘lockdown’ or feeling restricted! He said: “Although you feel ‘locked up’ and incapacitated right now, keep moving, keep proclaiming Jesus, keep praying, keep reaching out. Be like Joseph. He found himself ‘locked up’ BUT ME INSIDE OF HIM WASN’T! He took advantage of every situation he found himself in and used it for My glory! Do what you can, wherever you can, and rule in that arena. Joseph didn’t allow his time in prison to set him back, rather he used it to propel him into his promise. He dominated and produced fruit wherever he found himself. This is not a setback. This is a promotion and elevation. I’m using this time to fast track you, i

When speaking about my town of Gisborne, God often refers to it as a ‘city’. In my mind, it’s still the small country town it was 30 years ago! Whether it’s a small ‘city’ or big ‘city’ you live in, God wants to light it up! To light up a city it takes many lights to all shine brightly and do their part. “You are the light of [Christ to] the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden; nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good deeds and moral excellence, and [recognize and honor and] glorify your Father who is in heaven. Matthew 5:14‭

Have you noticed an increase in sickness and anxiety around you? Or maybe you yourself are suffering effects related to the stresses, the changes and constant pressure of covid19. This scripture really helped me in this fight… Then my enemies will turn back when I call for help. By this I will know that God is for me. Psalms 56:9 NIV Firstly, we must call for help. Secondly, realise our enemies turning back is a sign that God is for us! We might be chased down, hemmed in on all sides, but they must turn back when we call for help. Sometimes we think that if we are experiencing trouble after trouble we must be in the will of God. But it says here that we should EXPECT God to show His power

Picture this…you are headed out on an assignment with the Lord (to meet someone ‘important’, to pray for someone or buy a gift). Along the way suddenly you encounter another assignment that God has purposed for you; a diversion from the first one. It’s a very pressing situation and you know you are divinely positioned to see the Kingdom of God established in another person’s life. You have the choice: be fixated on completing the first one, or guided by the Holy Spirit to an ‘on the way’ miracle. This is exactly what happened to Jesus ‘on the way’ to healing Jarirus’ daughter (Luke 8:40-56). He was drawn into another miracle because He was aware of His surrounds. Power came out from Him to h

God is cleansing the church right now. We are being sifted and shaken to reveal hidden heart motives. Have we become dependant on others to worship? How do we react when the doors to where we once gathered are closed? “Why doesn’t one of you just shut the Temple doors and lock them? Then none of you can get in and play at religion with this silly, empty-headed worship. I am not pleased. The God -of-the-Angel-Armies is not pleased. And I don’t want any more of this so-called worship! Malachi 1:10 (MSG) God had had enough of these priests offering up blind, sick and crippled animals that they wanted to get rid of. They were playing the game of ‘religion’ but not giving God what He asked: blemi
