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 all my heart, so I readily agreed. Soon afterwards, on Easter Monday I was chatting to the Lord and I asked, “What am I doing that will get in the way

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 that 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 the contrary, the Bible teaches that what happens in these spiritual realms has a direct bearing to what happens on earth. What's more these realms are not remote and inaccessible to

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 already rent the heavens and come down to earth, born in a stable, despised by men, had given Himself up for me. He had died on a cross, He overcame Satan and all the powers of darkness and hell, sin, death, sickness and pain and commissioned His followers to

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 somehow and I don’t have problems that ‘normal’ people have. And it’s true that I am married to a wonderful man who I wouldn’t trade for the world, but we’ve had our share of difficult times. There’s the time that our baby daughter died and then a few years

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 29:11 God says to his people that he has good plans for them: For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and

While writing the script for the latest Spirit Lifestyle episode I came across a poem by T S Eliot called 'Choruses from the Rock'. Here's an extract: The endless cycle of idea and action, Endless invention, endless experiment, Brings knowledge of motion, but not of stillness; Knowledge of speech, but not of silence; Knowledge of words, and ignorance of the Word. Where is the Life we have lost in living? Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge? Where is the knowledge we have lost in information? Written in 1934 it was a prophetic poem in a century that
