How Can We Know The Power of Christ’s Resurrection Life?

How Can We Know The Power of Christ’s Resurrection Life?

  That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death…(Philippians 3:10) What a beautiful and rich desire Paul had and what a powerful indicator this verse is, of where our lives as believers ought to be headed. There’s two aspects of this verse that I would like to write about and I’ll do it as a two- part series.  Firstly, ‘The Power of His Resurrection’ and secondly, ‘The…

When You’ve Got Nothing To Say, It’s OK

When You’ve Got Nothing To Say, It’s OK

Lord, I would love to have something of Your life to share today. I realise there is no life in anything that would come simply from me. My own wisdom is as no wisdom at all. My own thoughts are fleeting. My own creativity cannot compare with that of others to bring about a greater picture of what my heart would want to convey. But Lord, Your life is amazing. You have a way by which You communicate from and through…

Tea and Toast

Tea and Toast

Yesterday, I was greatly encouraged by a dear sister in Christ. She encouraged me to simplify my spiritual diet when going through a spiritual storm/sickness, just as we simplify our diet when we are physically unwell. So this morning, as I sat and ate my regular breakfast, I shared the moment with the Lord, which resulted in the following poem. Every morning as I eat toast and drink tea I’m reminded of ‘Christ in me’. I remember the brokenness of…

3 Things I’ve Learned About Living By Christ’s Life In Us

3 Things I’ve Learned About Living By Christ’s Life In Us

Over the past number of weeks I have had certain thoughts drop into my spirit, that have been along similar lines so there seems to be a theme forming.  The theme has something to do with only living by the life of Jesus Christ within me (us) so I thought I’d share these with you in the hope that you might be encouraged. One thought was that when it’s very tough to keep going in our Christian life, instead of…

The Voice

The Voice

Hi brothers and sisters, There’s so much attention and media time given these days to singing and the worship and elevation of those who sing. Our televisions are filled with shows like American/Australian Idol, Australia/Brittain’s Got Talent and The Voice. I must admit, I’m pretty sick of it. But there is a different kind of singing that thrills me and it clearly delights the Lord’s heart immensely. I’ve just been reflecting on some words some saints put to the old familiar tune…

When Jesus Says, Do We Believe Him?

When Jesus Says, Do We Believe Him?

  Dear Fellow-Believer, When Jesus says “He is our life, joy, peace, love, compassion, grace, truth, strength……(fill in the blank), do we believe Him? For example, Jesus is the Prince of Peace, right? So if we have Jesus Christ living and dwelling inside of us, do we not have the Prince of Peace living inside of us and therefore have peace dwelling in us?  Or do we hear/read the words that Jesus is the Prince of Peace and then because…

Help! I can’t seem to unload my burdens!

Help! I can’t seem to unload my burdens!

I don’t mean to carry burdens. Sometimes I don’t even see them coming, and it’s not until weeks later I realise I’ve been labouring under them. Burdens are cares, right? They’re worries, anxieties, and concerns. They are matters that weigh heavy upon our minds and hearts. But Jesus said to cast ALL our cares upon Him for He cares for us. He said to come unto Him all who are weary and heavy laden, to learn from Him, that He…

7 Indicators of Religious Bondage & 7 Ways Out

7 Indicators of Religious Bondage & 7 Ways Out

On my walk today I noticed all the barbed wire lying around the place, that has been cut down from the many fences that were used to separate the land into paddocks. Now the barbed wire has been pulled down, and in some places, you can see it rolled up and pinned to a pole here and there. In some cases, there are coils of it lying in the grass where it’s been left. In another place, along the path,…
