John chapter 21 feels like an afterthought, or more, an expression of what life hearing from the Holy Spirit will be or now is. After Jesus' death on the cross and His subsequent Resurrection, the disciples appear to have returned to their former lives, until this moment. They seem to have lost their way somewhat…

In Revelation 18, Babylon is portrayed as the ultimate enemy of God, and in verse 4, we read of the Heavenly voice, calling to God’s people, warning of the dire consequences should they (we) fail to come out of her. If we are hearing from the Holy Spirit — in whatever way that He chooses to show us — He will teach us to spurn the darkness and walk in the light…

The coronation of a king is of great significance, and resonates even if you are a republican by conviction. A previous King Charles — Charles the first — was a strong proponent of ‘the Divine Right of Kings’; that as an anointed king , he has been empowered by Almighty God to rule and reign over a people in this temporal realm.

When we heard recently that the First Minister of Scotland was resigning, many I am sure gave the matter only a casual glance. There might be disappointment or pleasure depending on your politics, but what has happened is that — with the reaction to a strongly Christian candidate putting her name forward for the First Minister role — Our Lord has highlighted for all Christians, precisely where present day attitudes are when it comes to Faith.

In the numerology of scripture what does our Lord’s five hundred measure tell us? Scripture shows us the Plan of God in a myriad of ways, confirming and reinforcing the truth of what we believe and opening new vistas of revelation. One of these ways is through numbers, and as a dear man of God once told me many years ago, “the numbers always add up.” God’s creation has a base of mathematical perfection.

Jesus said “But those who drink the water I give will never be thirsty again. It becomes a fresh, bubbling spring within them, giving them eternal life.” [John 4:13-14 NLT] The New King James Version uses the expression a fountain of water springing up instead of a fresh bubbling spring. A week ago, Milady said that The Lord had given her the words ‘Fresh Water’, and we felt to look at this in our Gathering...

The Lord is making up His jewels – and ‘jewels’ are ‘special possessions’. We have been purchased at a price to be those Special Possessions, – and that makes us ‘Precious Stones’ and ‘Privileged People’ —and as ‘pearl[s] of great price’, we are being prepared to be set into His crown – to rule and reign with Christ. And they shall be mine, says the LORD of hosts...

I feel the imperative to write on these verses. In the last few days — indeed on the same day — I read two anointed devotions which took Matthew 25 as their source, and then found that it was my daily Bible reading also. It was one of those occasions when you feel strongly that The Lord is trying to get your attention — and indeed this is without doubt a message for our times.

[Proverbs 25:2] It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter. God is concealing His handiwork because it is an internal work, and it is the glory of us as kings to search out what He is doing – to get understanding of His ways – so that we can walk in them and allow Him, in turn, to foster and grow His seed in us.

1 CORINTHIANS 1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
We talk blithely about the Holy Ghost in power, about His mighty power, God is my strength and power, mighty men of power. |
At the beginning of Isaiah Chapter 51, the prophet calls three times Hearken to me. The threefold repetition reveals that he brings a word from on high. These are not my thoughts, my instructions, but those of Almighty God, he is saying...
