As written about in my previous blog post, living by faith has a great deal to do with hearing the voice of God for our situation. However it is not just about ‘hearing’ from God, it matters how we respond to what he has said - how do we receive his words? It really is our choice how we react when he speaks to us.
Living by faith
Living by faith is an essential part of our walk as believers. When we were born again, we put our faith in what we could not see, Jesus Christ and received the fullness of salvation in him. In 2 Corinthians 5:7, Paul commands us to “to live by faith and not by sight”, implying that …
The Veil Is Torn
At church on Easter Sunday last year, God surprised me in a really beautiful way. All Easter weekend I had been focusing and meditating on a couple of scriptures from Mark’s gospel: “With a loud cry, Jesus breathed his last. The curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.” Mark 15:37-38 …
Only One Thing Is Needed (3)
In this final part of my blog series on ‘Only One Thing Is Needed’, I want to look at the question, what does my life look like when I am fully living from this revelation? How is my behaviour different when I live with a ‘One thing’ mentality? To begin with, lets go back to …
Only One Thing Is Needed (2)
After my last post you might have had some questions such as, "But what about all the other things I feel I need? What do I do with those desires?" I want to explore these questions in this post as sometimes it just doesn't feel like a simple choice to only need Jesus. In 2022 …
Only One Thing Is Needed
At the end of 2022, I listened to a few podcasts that were reflecting on the year that gone by, particularly focusing on being grateful even if the year had been difficult. Later, writing my own gratitude list for 2022, I saw there was a lot to be thankful for and to celebrate, even if …
What is your image of victory?
Victory is something most Christians desire or need in at least one area of their lives. We long to see the enemy lose, for circumstances to change and for darkness to flee. Most of us likely have a picture in our minds of what we think our victory ‘should’ look like. I certainly did, however …
Surrender – His ways, His timings
If you look back to 5 or 10 years ago, has your life turned out exactly the way you thought it would? Did you have a plan for how you wanted your life to go and how you would get there? Often there is a way we feel life should go or at least we …
Producing A Crop
In this post I’m going to give a practical example of how we put the four key words I looked at last week, into practice when planting a seed, a promise of the word, in our heart. The biggest felt need in my life for a long time has been for health. Chronic fatigue syndrome …
Plant The Seed
In Ephesians 1, Paul writes in verse three that God has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. Sometimes when reading that I have felt frustrated because the blessing felt inaccessible. I yearned for God’s blessing to be part of my everyday reality, but I’ve had to learn how to …
