Sometimes what is NOT your lane can irritate you. For instance, not many understand the warrior lane, and it can irritate people. So they try and build doctrines and teachings to “hush” what irritates them. Maybe it could be a case of the hand saying to the foot I have no need of you? And maybe it could also be a case of iron sharpening iron? Many think warriors are looking under every bush for a devil and are devil-focused! Actually quite the opposite! They focus on Victory in Christ and empower and equip the saints that they are more than conquerors through Christ who loves them! Joshua and ..read more

Recently, the Holy Spirit showed me a person sitting in a position of deep intercession. As they sat before the Lord in prayer, the Holy Spirit allowed me to see what they were praying about and I saw what looked like concrete brick walls obstacles) in their path (and not just one wall but multiple ones). The situation they were dealing with appeared dire in the natural realm, with no natural way out from the world’s perspective, however, as I continued to watch something incredible began to happen. As I continued to watch this individual it was as though a Lightning Bolt of God’s Spirit came ..read more

This is the final message that I shared recently at Vineyard Australia’s and Vineyard New Zealand’s national conferences. In this message, we pick up where we left off in The Bible as a Trilogy & The Kingdom of God and we ask this question: what does this mean for how we live now?

Last year I left a family weekend with both happiness and sadness in my heart. It was so wonderful to see everyone and to catch up and hear about their lives. I also learned about family history and how some generational blessings and curses had entered into our family line. The conversations were fascinating and most importantly we had the beautiful privilege of praying over my aunt Mimi and her health. She has been such a blessing to so many around her through her love and care for others. But as I left, I kept thinking, don’t you want to be free? My heart honestly ached as I listened to st ..read more

Blow the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in My holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble; for the day of the Lord is coming, for it is at hand: Joel 2:1 It is common for many places to have various types of alarms for different uses.

Cities will have alarms warning of the danger of major storms or fires. All are to give a warning of something that is coming or occurring. Joel records God calling for a blowing of the trumpet in Jerusalem to w ..read more

Previously I shared eight reasons why some of our Prophetic Promises and Prophecies may have been delayed. Here I’m going to delve deeper into the reasons for these delayed destinies. Some of you are wondering why your promise still didn’t come into fruition. You are asking God, why didn’t things turn out the way that you thought they would. You can’t understand why God is making you wait on something that He promised to you so long ago. The ninth reason is doubting God and trying to fulfill the promise on your own. There is a story in the Bible about a great man of faith named Abraham (Who w ..read more

I read a phrase that connected me to a time in my past life. I first heard the phrase when I became a cop. The phrase is “Old School.” It can refer to old timers in any field of endeavor who have been there and done that. The phrase and its meaning stirred my memories when I visited a Facebook account called “Old School COPS.” When Old School COPS posts something that jogs my memory, I recall how I dressed fifty years ago while on duty. I remember my old and now out-of-date duty uniform, my hat, and the older weapons we carried now considered old school compared with more modern police equipm ..read more

It had been many months since we’d communicated through means other than email.  I led her through our familiar stretch of woods behind the house, and she wanted to know how I was – really. In the past year, she’d packed up and moved her whole life to the other side of the world.  Our weekly conversations were exchanged for one long afternoon a year.  She had been serving the least of these in the far corners of the earth, and I had been chasing down the elusive ideal of a balanced life, amidst mothering and ministering. I answered her question about how I was doing ..read more
