John 5:30 “For I seek not to please myself but him who sent me” Jesus is speaking declaring his Father’s Kingdom which is not to seek and serve his own desires and pleasures but rather those of His heavenly father. In verse 19 he says “the son can do nothing by himself, he can only…
I’m loving these spring days here in the Waikato. So lovely seeing the new growth starting to sprout, the blossoms forming on the trees. So too in our lives, where things have been dormant for a season, there is a calling forth of the new. Where things have been hidden for a time, where things…
Psalm 32:8 “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go. I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.” Recently the Lord has been talking about the word “prepare”. And so the questions come; Prepare for what? Prepare how? Is it physically, or is it spiritually? The questions come…
The past week has been remarkable, and I’ve never before sensed the profound impact of people’s words so intensely—words that can either give life or bring death, instill hope or cast despair.

Romans 12:10 “Be devoted to one another in love. Honour one another above yourselves.” There are stumbling blocks in any relationship but a love that is devoted and honours, forgives the offenses, journeys the storms, and looks for the good in a person, and still has relationship in spite of, that is amazing and wonderful…
This morning I saw this picture of seedlings that had grown up and now were getting more dirt put around the base of the seedling, strengthening it and helping it to stand and the word I got was that new things had been sown and were now getting established. And because of that they would…
This is a word I believe the Lord was speaking yesterday.
