Living in the Realm of the Spirit
Following Jesus as our Lord and Saviour in this world is not always easy and straightforward! We should ‘long’ to be with our Lord, to experience His presence to sustain us in this world whilst we wait for His return. This is the primary reason for the Holy Spirit! The Spirit dwells within believer’s, to […]
Walking out your Salvation
Salvation is truly a most significant word. What does it mean to be saved? Saved from what? By whom? In the book of Joshua chapter 6, we read about Jericho, a city facing judgement for all its sin, immorality, evil practices and more. But a woman named Rahab, a prostitute was saved along with her […]
Living in God’s Presence
King David writes in Psalm 27, “one thing i desire is to seek the face of God”. There are 2 elements here that shows us what God is looking for in a worshipper. One is a ‘desire’ and the other is to ‘seek’ after Him!! The Lord wants His church to ‘desire’ and ‘seek’ him […]
Cultivating a Spirit of Gratitude
We read a wonderful story in Luke 17 where Jesus heals 10 men with leprosy. After the miracle of the healing, only 1 of them and he a Samaritan came to say thank you and worshipped Jesus. “Were there 10 of you who were healed?” says Jesus, “where are they?” Cultivating a heart of gratitude […]
To remain in the vine;- Fear Him.
Jesus says in John 15 that ‘he is the vine’ and we are the branches. The branches exist and are dependent upon the vine or ‘shoot’. The branches draw from the ‘shoot’, therefore have the same DNA of the shoot. The characteristics of the ‘shoot’ of Jesus are described in Isaiah 11:2-3, including wisdom, understanding, […]
Learning to live and walk in “The Fear of The Lord”
There are so many verses in the Bible from the many ‘Chosen’ people of God who repeat a common theme – learn to have a “reverence and Fear of the Lord”. Even Jesus himself took ‘delight in having a fear of God’ (the Father!) in Isaiah 11:3. The theme of the Holy Spirit is clear […]
Are You Chosen Too?!
In Acts chapter 7 we read of the martyrdom of the dear servant Stephen. Following this the church had dispersed and being heavily persecuted by a man called Saul spearheading this campaign against the church. Meanwhile, the Lord Jesus is looking for the ‘right man’ to now take the truth of the gospel to the […]
Are you Chosen?
The book of Jeremiah opens with a profound truth – “Before i formed you in the womb i knew you, and before you were born i consecrated you”, that is ‘set apart’ for God! When you hear the call do you respond to say ” yes Lord, here i am, send me!” In looking at […]
True Repentance has IMPACT
In the book of Luke (chapter 7:36-50) we see a story of a woman who worships at the feet of our Lord. This woman was extravagant in her worship and adoration. She publicly wept, dried her tears with her hair and anointed the feet of Jesus with expensive ointment. What was it that stirred up […]
