  • Prayer – What’s in a name? Part 1

    KNOW YOUR GOD – To be effective in prayer we need to know: WHO we are praying to; in WHOSE name we pray; and the AUTHORITY and POSITION we have in CHRIST : One of the main purposes of prayer is to develop our relationship with God by actively seeking/pursuing HIS FACE through the person…

  • Prayer – Let’s be inspired

    We are in a season where God is calling His people to pray and intercede being inspired and empowered by His Holy Spirit.    I am going to post a series of notes which I used some years ago when leading some prayer workshops.  The aim was to encourage believers to pray and help them develop prayer as a lifestyle.  It was also to provide some practical…

  • Beware the backlash

    We have experienced a backlash from the enemy on a few occasions when pushing forward in prayer and engaged in spiritual warfare.    The enemy hates to lose ground and will try and re-establish himself/his stronghold and it is important to be aware of this and stand firm when the assaults come.   Recognising them and their origin is key to dealing with…

  • Rooting out the enemy

    The enemy has a strategy against individuals and fellowships but our God knows all things.   Through prayer, revelation, the power of the Holy Spirit and the authority we have in Christ, we can root out the enemy, expose his strategies and demolish his strongholds. Some years ago the Lord revealed to us that the enemy was at work in…

  • Calling Back

    Last week we felt led by the Holy Spirit to cry out and call back from the north, south, east & west in this nation, those who had once walked with the Lord.    Those people who had previously given their lives to the Lord but were no longer serving him.    We prayed for healing, forgiveness and…

  • Pioneers

    I felt that God spoke to me recently about the fellowship that I am attending currently, that it has a pioneering spirit.   I believe that they have been gifted in God to be pioneers in their community and to bless the local community in this way.   I have been encouraged to hear how God has already used them in this way and…

  • Invite Christ in -Access all areas

    I had this word when I was praying some time ago and have shared it in our fellowship but feel that the Lord wants me to share it again now. My dear children – you are all children in my sight, dear and beloved to me. How my heart aches for you. How my heart longs to…

  • God’s banqueting table

    We were taking communion on Sunday and I was reminded of God’s banqueting table and that His banner over us there is love.    The words are from the Song of Solomon but we also sing a worship song about God bringing us to His banqueting table.    It is only through that act of selfless love when Christ died…

  • God’s Word-The Plumbline

    There have been many words recently about deception and being guarded against deception. Jesus himself warns us against being deceived particularly in the time before He returns. We can easily get carried away as “charismatic” believers particularly when we belong to a Spirit filled church and it is so important that the Spirit and the…

  • God’s Voice

    There are lots of voices clamouring to be heard & lots of voices telling us untruths at the moment particularly in the media & about our nation but the Bible tells us that God’s voice is powerful, full of majesty and can shake the wilderness and strip the forest bare -Psalm 29.    The voice of the Lord is “over the waters”…
