You know, it makes me scratch my head every time I realize God, who created the mountains, the oceans, the heavens and all forms of life, chooses humanity for company. It makes me stop and wonder when I remember that He who gave lions their majesty and dolphins their swiftness, fashioned towering redwood trees and … Continue reading Tuned In

Parable of the Man of God
There was a young man of God, and God said to Him "Son, I want to show you some things that are on My heart.” And so God took him and showed him the very house of God where God dwelt. And God took him by the hand, for he was a son to Him, … Continue reading Parable of the Man of God

The Word
Fellow blogger and Christ-disciple, David Bolton at Christ Centred Christianity recently asked me to contribute to his The Word in 3D Project with a prophetic poem based on John 1:14. The Word in 3D regularly brings together three Christian writers in prayer and fellowship to share their different perspectives on a specific passage of scripture. … Continue reading The Word

Many Will Be Offended
Visibly angry, the man with the long dark beard backed away from me as if to avoid catching a dreaded disease. “Get away from me! You are an offence to me!” he sputtered hatefully, eyes flashing with rage, face heavy with indignation. Beside him his approving wife glared at me in agreement, while their two … Continue reading Many Will Be Offended

Reblog: And The Bride Wore……Scars?
Reblogged from Bread for the Bride, April 2012: Recently I did a Google image search on ‘bride of Christ’. The results were interesting. With a few thought-provoking exceptions, the majority of images portrayed a Western bride dressed in long white gown and veil, with flawless fair skinned complexion and a radiant smile. Sometimes she is … Continue reading Reblog: And The Bride Wore……Scars?

Lessons From the Wilderness: Part Four
In the wilderness nothing is man-made. All that is needed for survival must be provided by God. In His wilderness journey Jesus would have sheltered in caves or one of the many rocky recesses to be found in the cliff faces. He would have refreshed Himself at the small springs of water that occasionally break … Continue reading Lessons From the Wilderness: Part Four

Lessons From the Wilderness: Part Three
When Jesus was led into the wilderness after His baptism at the Jordan, He was full of the Spirit of God (Lk 4:1). Many days later He returned from the wilderness to Galilee, this time in the power of the Spirit (Lk 4:14). Something happened in the wilderness that empowered Jesus more deeply to hear, … Continue reading Lessons From the Wilderness: Part Three

Lessons from the Wilderness Part Two
Imagine, after a long period of relative obscurity, you suddenly become a spiritual celebrity. The greatest prophet in the nation publicly affirms your calling to ministry, the Heavens open and it seems God’s highest favour rests on you, while the anointing of the Holy Spirit is poured out on you mightily. In the church or conference where … Continue reading Lessons from the Wilderness Part Two

Beyond Revival
I am seriously into fresh fruit. Right now we are in the process of planting citrus trees on the plot of land next to our house, something we have been wanting to do since we moved here just over three years ago. Growing up, fresh fruit was abundant in my home. I guess the fact … Continue reading Beyond Revival

Featured Poem for September: The Promise
The Promise The breeze toyed playfully with His hair Tugging wistfully at His robe At the tread of His sandals The earth sighed with inexpressible hope Sunlight wrapped joyfully around His frame And danced with delight on His face Waves stumbled softly one over another In gleeful contest to caress His feet Wind and storm … Continue reading Featured Poem for September: The Promise

And He Came to His Own
Chances are if you consider yourself a believing Christian at some time in your life you were invited to ‘receive Jesus’. It’s the common evangelical catch cry for ushering unbelievers into the Kingdom of God. Countless numbers of church goers believe they are going to Heaven because at some time they raised their hand, signed … Continue reading And He Came to His Own

The Real Coalition of the Willing
And a leper came to Jesus, beseeching Him and falling on his knees before Him, and saying, "If You are willing, You can make me clean." Moved with compassion, Jesus stretched out His hand and touched him, and said to him, "I am willing; be cleansed." Mark 1:40-41 The willingness of God to meet us … Continue reading The Real Coalition of the Willing

The Search For Authentic Fellowship
Somewhere along my Christian 'experience' I managed to pick up some rather unhealthy ideas about what life as a believer should look like. Many of those ideas are now the subject of some painful yet necessary rethinking. For example, I came under the impression that following Christ means you automatically get to enjoy something called … Continue reading The Search For Authentic Fellowship

The Bride At War
Friends, You will find this post lengthier than the usual Bread for the Bride post. It is the result of several months of waiting before the Lord and I believe is a timely word for the Bride of Christ. I would request you not to just skim this one, but to take time to read … Continue reading The Bride At War

Wait, There’s More
Ten years ago in 2003 I was given the words to a prophetic song (see below). They speak of a time when the Bride of Christ will emerge in the fullness of the stature of Christ. They speak of a coming season, when having embraced His Cross, she will also embrace His resurrection life. That … Continue reading Wait, There’s More

More Than a Shepherd
Gentle Jesus, meek and mild, is a mental picture many of us have embraced since childhood. We love the idea of the softly spoken shepherd tenderly leading His sheep, don’t we? There is a good reason Psalm 23 is one of the most often quoted and well-loved Bible passages. It comforts us to know … Continue reading More Than a Shepherd
