Hi!
 
 
We all know that we are meant to be living in victory; we know that we are supposed to be overcomers and I guess for some it feels that it is such an elusive thing.  What does having victory look like?  What does it really mean to be an overcomer?  We can so easily end up feeling that we are failures because we are not walking in continual victory or overcoming in the way that we think we should...

Hi!
Like many of you September always feels like the beginning of a new year...the children go back to school, the break of summer is over, routine starts and things pick up at speed again! I have taken a break over the summer from writing and now feel like it’s the beginning of a new year, a new season and the opportunity for new and great things! 
I am believing that for those of you who continue to struggle through the tough process...

Hi!
The Lord has been speaking to me about valleys recently, both directly and through various messages. We have covered valleys before but I hope that this will bring some more practical insight as to how to get through the valleys that we face.
 
Valleys are an inevitable part of our walk through life. The mountaintops are wonderful but to get from one mountain to the next, the valley has to be walked through. Few of us enjoy being in a valley and if it...

Dear Friends
God has made us an amazing number of promises that He longs to see fulfilled in our lives. He has called and destined us to be those who live life to the full, embracing all that He has given us and promised to us. Those promises aren’t for some far off time, in Heaven, or when we have our lives totally sorted out...they are promises for NOW!  To be brought into the here and now, the everyday of our lives. 
There are...

Hi!
I have been overwhelmed by the response to the last message I sent out - thank you so much and i am praying that everything that has been a weakness in your life is being transformed into a great strength that will terrify hell and excite heaven!
Many of us have walked out of Egypt, out of a place of slavery.  We know we belong to the Lord and that He has taken us out of darkness and into light but...

Hi!
 
I am finally back!  I am so sorry for the absence of these messages but it was important that I allowed the Lord to do the work He wanted to in me before I started writing again and now He has given me permission!   Whether we like it or not we were born for war.  The moment we entered the Kingdom of God we embarked on a war – a war that we know the end to and...

Hi!
I am so sorry that I haven't posted anything for a few weeks...God is doing an amzing, healing, restoring work in my life that has been awesome.  Knowing the completeness of that restoration, that everything of the past is truly over is absolutely amazing.  However, it has meant that I've just not had anything to write - God has had me just focus on Him and getting this process complete.  I am away this next week but after that I...

 
Dear Friends
At a time when the world and the enemy are stirring up all that is negative to try and persuade us to fear just about everything, to believe that crisis is just around the corner; we need to know that the Lord is our Shepherd more than ever. 
“The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want”  Psalm 23:1
What a wonderful promise, that when we embrace the Lord as our shepherd we will be those who lack for...

Hi!
I hope that you are having a wonderful week.  I know many of you are still struggling with the aftermath of Easter – know that I’m holding you up in prayer and know that it will pass.
Do any of these phrases sound familiar?  “I can’t do this”, “I can’t take anymore”, “I can’t do another day”, “It’s too much”, “I’m never going to make it”.   When despair, depression, doubt, despondency or any of the other “deadly D’s” set in...

Hi!
God is so incredibly awesome at working all things together for good, and for using every experience we have and every skill we learn, even in the darkest places, for his glory and our good.
There are so many examples of this throughout scripture but I would like us just to look at one example that I pray you’ll be able to draw hope and encouragement from wherever you are, whatever you are facing right now. I’m sure you know that God...

Dear Friends
HAPPY EASTER!
The Lord issued me with a challenge as I settled down to write this message. It has been a little while since I wrote because the Lord has been working on two messages that I wanted to get just as he wants them to be communicated....this isn’t either of them! But, as it is Easter weekend I wanted to write something relevant and the Lord issued this challenge. As Believers there are certain things that we would all agree are against God’s...

Dear Friends
Sometimes it is a challenge to believe that we are really so different in God’s eyes to how we see ourselves.  We can grasp some of how He sees us with our minds but actually getting it into our hearts is often much harder.   How we think about ourselves, even how we THINK God sees us and the reality of how He ACTUALLY sees are often worlds apart.
This week I wanted to bring you a reminder of some of...

Dear Friends
This is a great scripture that we’re going to look at today.  It can be read in all sorts of contexts and it may be that you want to look at it in the context of the community you live in or the place of influence that God has called you to.  We are going to look at it in a personal context and remind ourselves that we have to guard our lives carefully if we are going to...

Hi!
I hope that you have had a wonderful week and that you are walking in hope and the knowledge that God is holding you together and is going to get you through whatever you are facing right now.  I pray that through this week's message the Lord will bring you greater revelation of just how good He is and that it will become a reality for each one of us 24 hours a day.
“But now, O Israel, the LORD who...

Dear Friends
We all want to live a life that overflows with blessing and with abundant good things.  But many of us don’t believe that it is possible – maybe for others – but not for us....or believe that until we are in a good place in our lives it just isn’t going to happen.  But it can happen right here, in whatever situation you find yourself in today.  I pray that this message will enable you to lift your head...
