So obedience - perhaps not the most glamorous virtue. But what if we thought of Obedience less as a sort of passive virtue, and more as an entity created by God for labor. Having its own purpose and its own agency and work to accomplish - much like Truth which liberates (John 8:32), or Testing [...]

Gifts From The Father to The Son & To The Sons of Men
From the Father to the Son And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. John 17:5 Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because [...]
Destiny
What is Our Destiny? In its simplest form for me it is To know Christ, to be known by Him, and to be His hands and feet in the earth. But wait, there’s more .. Redemption from the penalty of sin, and restoration to relationship with The Father through The Christ, for those who [...]
Why isn’t My Season Working? – When will the Reign Come?
Have you ever been in what feels like a desert place in your walk? You seek after The Christ, grasping for your Emmanuel on your way to some destination, perhaps in pursuit of destiny even – not doubting, but you have questions, and He seems distant, out of earshot and out of reach? A place [...]
The Holy Spirit Prepares The Way …
If you’ve read any of my Posts, it may be obvious that I’m a big fan of The Book of Luke and his detailed and nuanced accounts. They’re so full of seeds for rich revelation. So something that caught my attention as I read through The Gospel this time, was the role of The Holy [...]

When Jesus saw her, he called her forward and said to her, “Woman, you are set free from your infirmity.” Then he put [...]
Denying the Power of Unclean Things (II)
Jesus’ effective, out of the gate rebuke of the enemy’s tactics in the wilderness, followed by a series of devil-rebuking events might lead us to reimagine our concept of “the unclean” and its broader, deeper application. It was doubt, false pride and deception which were the unclean things that facilitated the original breach, and resulting [...]
Denying Power to the Unclean Things (I)
Throughout His ministry – indeed from the very start, Jesus mastered unclean spirits. In fact His very first act of supremacy was exercising dominion over, and imposing His will upon the chief unclean spirit – the devil. Luke Chapter 4 tells us that Jesus, being full of the Holy Ghost, and led of The Spirit, [...]
Love, Love, Love …
All you need is love … dat ta dah dah dah. All you need is love… dat ta dah dah dah. All you need is love, love. Love is all you need. What a fun, catchy, feel-good tune. Not sure whether The Beatles knew they were paraphrasing Scripture or not, but if the love being [...]
Releasing the Dead Things that Spawn the Badlands
Death begets death, so we turn back the spirit of Death. With penitent hearts, we reject and release the former dead things that have corrupted good soil turning it into desert places and turning our land into the Badlands. Have Mercy on us Lord and forgive us: For courting the spirit of irreverence for a [...]
