Celebrating Breakthrough
Ten years ago, I needed a breakthrough. Rob and I had been following Jesus for years and had tried to be obedient to the Holy Spirit. I had been in business for virtually all my adult life, and after surviving the liquidation of a failing business, my subsequent venture had
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
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 9:23 In other words... “What were you expecting? That this would be yet another

Rock of Ages
I discovered something remarkable about a place we’re travelling to this weekend. Rob and I will be in Somerset, running a two day Supernatural workshop. Patti, our contact there, was struggling to find a venue for us, but eventually booked The Burrington Inn, not far from Bristol. She then discovered that
Can a Christian have a Demon?
“Can a Christian have a Demon?” is a question that comes up from time to time in our workshops. It’s a good question. The reasoning goes like this: “If I am a Christian it means that I have invited Jesus into my heart, and if Jesus is in my heart by
How to see in the spirit realm: A thought
Last week I did my first Facebook Live video and called it #askaliss. I invited anyone to send in a question for me to cover and many of the questions were to do with seeing in the spirit realm. This is such a huge topic, so I decided to use it
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
Can I pray for healing for others even if I am suffering from the same problem?
At a recent workshop one of the delegates asked me an interesting question: “Can I pray for healing for others even if I am suffering from the same problem myself?” The reasoning being that, if I am not healed in an area myself, how can I expect others to be healed
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
Remembering my stillborn baby
I wrote this on FaceBook exactly a year ago but decided to repost it here on my blog: "Yesterday was a day of mixed emotions. Our second daughter would have turned 22 yesterday had she lived. Rob and I took the day off to spend together and because the weather was
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 Supernatural Christmas
Hearing the Christmas story each year, we can dumb it down to simply a children's nativity play or choir boys in a high church setting, but re-read the gospels as though hearing for the first time, and you'll realise how religious we've made it. What actually happened was to ordinary people
Magicians worship Jesus
I was thinking of the Christmas story and how ‘wise men’ followed a star and discovered Jesus, the Messiah. It just dawned on me that the word for ‘wise men’ in the original text in Matthew 2 is ‘magos’ which actually means ‘magicians’ or ‘sorcerors’. These men were Eastern mystics: they
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
Supernatural Knowledge from the Holy Spirit
An extract from 'The Normal Supernatural Christian Life' by Aliss Cresswell 1 Corinthians 12:4-11 lists nine gifts that are given to us from the Holy Spirit. One of these gifts is described by the Apostle Paul as a “word of knowledge” (see verse 8). A word of knowledge is when someone
Well-being and healing for the whole person
When it comes to well-being we can have a tendency to focus on physical healing. The bad backs, the blood and skin conditions and the ‘incurable’ diseases – we have seen God heal all these and more. But having physical miracles like broken bones instantly mended is only one aspect of

Heavenly Realms in Earthly Matters

The term heavenly denotes a place higher or more perfect that our earthly one and the term realm contextualizes this place as being under the rule and reign of God.

Revival – where is it? by Aliss Cresswell
For years, I prayed for God to send revival. I read Isaiah 64 and begged God to rend the heavens and come down, for people to turn out in droves to our church services and to get saved in the meetings. One day I came to the realisation that God had
My Marriage Secrets by Aliss Cresswell
Rob and I celebrated 28 years of marriage this month. It got me thinking how I've had people tell me "Everything’s OK for you, you're a ‘woman of God’ with everything going for you, full of faith and seeing miracles every day." They seem to think that I have it easy
Dreams of the Night that Influence the Day
Dreaming while sleeping is common to all the people of the world. From babies to, children to adults - we all dream. Dreams are strange experiences, sometimes so lucid and convincing that they cause us to actually speak or move in our sleep. Dream worlds are weird; they have different rules,
