I can still remember when I first heard God's audible voice. I was around the age of 8 and standing on the balcony of our home (The balcony from a previous encounter) which overlooked pine forests, mountainous hills, valleys and native bush. I heard a voice call my name and looked around but...

It was a real struggle to pray this morning. It took me awhile to get motivated but when I did, I felt a prompting from the Holy Spirit about how important prayer was for my family, friends, and also others here @CyB who have asked for prayer. Even those who have not. God is so awesome to...

1 Corinthians 12:28 tells us that God has appointed specific ministerial positions in the church. Also note Ephesians 4:28. In my country it has been interesting to note that some of those positions, specifically that of the prophet and a number of the listed gifts are non existent. My...

When you accept Jesus as your Lord and savior, the Holy Spirit comes into your life and your whole world changes. He [the Holy Spirit] is not an add on. He encompasses every facet of your living, moving and breathing. He becomes the center of your world starting from the inside of you and...

Sounds a little dubious but in hindsight, you will be able to piece the picture together and see Gods mighty plan for Israel and also for all the nations of the earth who believe in Jesus Christ, by faith. God made at least five promises to Abram [Abraham] from the time God called him out of...

What is the message of Salvation? To make it as simple as possible. The story begins when God had created Adam and placed him in the garden. He also created Eve. Sometime during their time walking in the cool of the garden, the Serpent, a deceptive and crafty creature, manipulated Eve into...

I am thankful that God in all his mercies, has led me on a path of learning, understanding and growth through circumstances, divine appointments, and encounters with mighty men and women of God throughout my walk with Christ. Growth can be an exciting adventure as a new believer and coming from...

The idea of "forbidden" may conjure up all sorts of thoughts in your head. Our parents would have told us things like "don't play near the water on your own, don't cross the road without someone holding your hand, don't talk to strangers etc. This in my view, gives us a glimpse, an idea of what...

Security of the One Who Trusts in the Lord. He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High Will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress, My God, in whom I trust!” 3 For it is He who delivers you from the snare of the trapper And from the deadly...

One of the pearls I have learnt about being at home during this pandemic is how loud my thoughts have become. I don't think that they were as clear as when I was busy focussed on work but it has been a good thing. Training is always a good thing when God uses opportunities like this to talk to...

Jesus Christ is God but he did not take upon himself his sovereignty while here on earth. Philippians 2:8-11 Instead he humbled himself and became like a man so that he could save man through his sacrifice on the cross. Christ is God but he is not the Father. The father was in him and he is in...

Back in the old testament, God the father spoke to Israel through his prophets. He is a Holy and Righteous God who does not tolerate sin. You can see that when he deals with Israel in the wilderness and also reflected in the law which came through Moses. He promised Abraham blessings, not only...

My First Personal Encounter With God When I was 8 years old, we lived in the woods [forest town] along with other families because my father worked in that industry at the time [forestry]. One day I was coming home from my friends house and I had to pass a creek. On this particular day, I...

I was talking with a friend the other day who commented on how different some Christians seem to be when they come out from the limelight. I had to agree with her point after encountering a similar experience. It happened a few years ago when I heard about an outreach team who were inviting folk...

There are many gifts that the Holy Spirit imparts on believers as we walk the path he has prepared for each of us, according to his will. Many many years back as a new believer, God gave me the gift of knowledge. This gift is incredible because it gave me a window into the lives of other...

Since I've had a lot of spare time on my hands due to the pandemic, I have been able to do things that I was not able to do before. Like read the bible more often. It has surprised me how much I have gotten out of reading God's word. Although I have read the bible through, it always amazes me...

God has been speaking to me a lot lately about this passage... John 15 3 You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. 4 Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. 5...

A friend of mine rang me yesterday and he was concerned about not hearing God clearly. He is what us costals call very sharp in the Lord [discerning] but lately this has not been the case and he is wondering why things have changed slightly for him. Oddly enough, his wife came for a fly by...

I loved singing that song in church...Tonight I awoke with a conversation going on with the Lord. He was talking to me about love. He said that without love, the world would destroy itself and that hate destroys worlds. He showed me that love is like an EMP a pulse that emits from the very...

A while back, I was asked by a counselor from another Church if I would help a new believer through a rough patch...she was having some spiritual problems and needed some counseling and support. At that time, I was taking her through a course on "Knowing your authority in Christ." We would study...
