Breakthrough for Families!
Since revival broke out in our café and then our shop ten years ago, we’ve seen incredible miracles of healing, deliverance and salvations, far too numerous to count. But I have to tell you that in the past year we’ve seen more miracles within families than ever before. And not just in one place, but everywhere we go! The Lord is making it clear that this really is a season [...]

Clear for Action and Beat to Quarters!!
“Clear for action and beat to quarters!” I liked the movie so much I got the T-Shirt! The movie is ‘Master and Commander’ (2003) and it chronicles the adventures of Captain Jack Aubrey in the Napoleonic naval warfare of the early nineteenth century. The movie begins with the ship, HMS Surprise (28 guns, Crew: 197 souls) off the coast of Brazil 1806 under Admiralty Orders: To Cpt. J. Aubrey, ‘Intercept [...]
Expect A Miracle
Blog by Rob Cresswell.When Jesus was asked by a distraught father if He could heal his tormented son, this was His reply:“ ‘If you can’? said Jesus. ‘Everything is possible for one who believes.’” Mark 9:23In other words... “What were you expecting? That this would be yet another failed attempt at healing and that things would just continue to get worse? Everything is possible for those who come expecting a [...]
Resurrection Power this Easter
As I write this blog, tears are streaming down my face. I remember the time just before we opened our little café in Blacon, Chester. It was ten years ago that we got the keys. I’d been feeling a mix of emotions all that year: of joy and excitement coupled with a holy discontent and hunger for more. It followed years of hard work, laying down of everything, contending, searching, [...]
Dr Billy Graham’s passing marks a new era
I was sixteen years old when I boarded a bus with my family to Anfield Football Stadium in Liverpool, just a few miles from our home in Chester. The anticipation built as we headed towards the stadium and excitedly travelled to hear the American Evangelist Billy Graham in 1984. I’d given my life to Jesus at the tender age of four in 1971 and my family were Christians, but it [...]
Do you have a destiny?
“It must be destiny!” Have you ever said that? Or “I’ve got this weird feeling - it’s like this was meant to happen!” Sometimes we get a strong sense that circumstances somehow conspired together in a way that made something happen. It could be a relationship, a chance meeting, or just a huge coincidence...But here’s the thing... when we feel or experience that kind of sensation, what we are really [...]
50th Birthday Blog by Aliss Cresswell
This month it's my 50th birthday. Earlier in the year, Rob asked what I would like for my birthday, maybe some jewellery or to go somewhere special? I couldn’t think of anything in particular that I needed, so I asked the Holy Spirit what I should ask for. I sensed Him say, “How about helping birth a worldwide move of God?” Of course, that’s what I really want with [...]
Heavenly Realms in Earthly Matters
Heavenly realms is a term we use for speaking about spiritual realities in spiritual dimensions. The term heavenly denotes a place higher or more perfect than our earthly one and the term realm contextualizes this place as being under the rule and reign of God. Though we understand that these heavenly realms are in another dimension it's a mistake to believe that they are irrelevant to earthly matters. On [...]
A Purposeful Life – Knowing Your Purpose
Do you have a purposeful life? Ask the average person why they are here, what's the reason for their existence, and you will probably get a shrug. Sadly, ask your average believer the same question and you're likely to get the same answer. However, the scriptures are clear that we are created for a reason and that God has a purpose and a plan for all of us: In Jeremiah [...]
