It always amazes me how something that looks like a dried up onion can become these beautiful spring flowers. The secret is being hidden underground for a time! During this time ….. so much is happening in that dark place to release the potential that’s within the bulb. If you are in a dark place ….. rejoice! It means God is giving you roots ….. and stripping away the external stuff that limits your growth. At the right time ….. the real ‘you’ will emerge. Don’t be in a rush!

Does the way ahead seem to be blocked? Gates have two purposes. They are there to keep intruders out ….. but also to keep those within safe. What we see as an obstacle ….. could be there for our protection. God is our gatekeeper! He sees the dangers we don’t see. He also sees the desires of our hearts. His ‘No!’ could be a ‘Not now!’ He will open the gate if and when the time is right. In the meantime ….. be content with where you are right now!

We are rapidly coming to the end of winter ….. and it’s a good time for reflection. How is your year going? If anything like mine ….. it’s going very fast! Some of my ‘intentions’ at the beginning of the year are yet to be fulfilled. But it’s not too late to start that new project ….. change that old habit ….. or restore that relationship. Rather than making lists of things you should be doing ….. ask God what’s at the top of His list for you.

With so much sickness around ….. and the strain that’s being put on our health system ….. we must rely more and more on God for healing. Over the years ….. my family and I have experienced miracle after miracle. Some have been instant healings. Some over time. But the majority have been where God has imparted wisdom and knowledge that have been up to us to put into practice. Things like naturally healthy foods ….. and understanding of how our bodies work. Dealing with the root cause ….. and getting things in balance. Dealing with stress ….. and recognising it’s triggers. Breaking generational curses when we see patterns of disease ….. or tendencies towards certain addictions. The best part is ….. you dont need an appointment! He won’t tell you to come back next week! He is only a prayer away. 

“Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well.” 3 John 1:2

Going through a dry patch? Does it seem like whatever life you had has been attacked by vultures? Position yourself for a miracle! God is very familiar with deserts! They give Him an amazing backdrop for a miracle. He may send ravens to feed you ….. or angels to encourage you ….. or create a river to flow and refresh you. Expect something supernatural! A new era is about to begin!

Many people in our world today are struggling because of labels ….. or things others have said about them. We become what we believe we are. A young man in the Bible was named Jabez which means ‘Pain’ because his Mum had a painful birth! But he wasn’t prepared to wear that name. He prayed, ‘Oh that You would bless me indeed and enlarge my territory! Let Your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will not cause pain.’ So God granted him what He requested. Ask God to bless you and make you bigger than the label that confines you!

Despite the bad things that are happening in our world ….. there is still so much beauty. It’s easy to allow sadness ….. pain ….. anger ….. fear ….. to dominate our vision. Whatever we focus on becomes clearer. If we focus on the negatives ….. they become the things that stand out in our memory. No matter how many good things happened ….. they will blur in the background. But we can turn that around! No matter how many bad things happen ….. if we focus on something beautiful and good ….. the bad stuff will blur in the background. One way to make this work for you is to stop and thank God for the beauty or goodness you find. It helps to establish it in your mind and memory!

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Philippians 4:8

I wrote this several years ago but I think it’s worth repeating! 

Are you wondering what’s going wrong with the world? I can tell you in a simple sentence! We have not followed the instruction manual! I’ve been guilty of opening a new appliance ….. ignoring the manual thinking ‘It’s a toaster! How hard can it be?’ ….. and using it according to my limited knowledge based on my past experience with toasters! That means I didn’t get the best out of this toaster. I failed to respect its manufacturer. I deprived myself and my family of perfect toast! In a nutshell ….. we have not read the Designer’s Manual. If we have ….. we’ve only followed the bits we like. We’ve made up our own rules. We’ve allowed our governments to remove the Bible from schools ….. Parliaments ….. and Justice Systems. We’ve let them pass laws that are abhorrent to God and God’s people. We’ve made a God in our image who loves us no matter what we do. Most manuals have a section called ‘troubleshooting’. It tells you where you’ve gone wrong. I think it’s time to do some troubleshooting!

Walking with God means……trusting Him for healing! In Revelation 22 ….. we read ….. “on each side of the river grew a tree of life ….. the leaves were used for medicine to heal the nations” Jesus took all our infirmities to the Cross and “by His stripes we were healed”!  Let’s combine our faith for all our brothers and sisters who are not feeling well ….. If you are sick today, my prayer for you is that you would experience divine healing in the name of Jesus!
