Blessed

So, I didn't keep my blog as up-to-date as I would have liked, shocker! But, suffice it to say that, it's been quite a month! And I can't wait for whatever God has got planned next!

My time in Denmark was unbelievable, and God really blessed it. I learnt so much from the teachings, I developed a whole new outlook on prayer, God spoke to me so much and confirmed so much for me whilst I was away, I met some wonderful, inspiring people - who are running with all their might after Jesus, and saw some amazing things on the streets...

A massive shout-out to all you lovely people on my PTS, I love you all so much and we're now one big family in Christ. Praise God! You all helped me at different points; whether that was praying with me and for me, talking with me, hugging me!, going on adventures and outreach with me, and blessing me. You know, I actually considered, at one point months ago, doing my PTS in the summer instead, but I prayed about it and God was clear I should attend the one in May. Well, I'm so thankful to God, because of everything he did for me there, but also because it meant I got to spend the last three and a half weeks with all of you. I couldn't have asked for better!

I saw some wonderful healings on the streets, shared the gospel with some people and just witnessed God moving in peoples' lives; which was so beautiful. We saw baptisms too, and how much joy was on the faces of the people afterwards as they were filled with the Holy Spirit. Though, we struggled with oppression and persecution too at times, but we held firm in our faith and prayer and overcame it with Jesus.

I had such a laugh too, and the hotel was filled with so much love and joy. I will miss that a lot! But I know the fellowship doesn't stop here :)

And my time in Norway, the past four days, has been awesome. I've seen the wonders of God's creation all around me, and have had a chance to explore a new place. But, the greatest experience of all was meeting two people of peace on two different days and getting the opportunity to listen to them, share the gospel with them and pray for them: two, new people who I believe have a new outlook on faith, on the power and love of God and on their future. Glory to God! I have been so overwhelmed with his constant encouragement.

If you want to know more about my time away, please do just message me! I would love to talk about it with you.

I used to pray: thy will be done, and hope my will would still be done. But, after seeing how God is working in my life and shaping it so wonderfully, I pray THY WILL BE DONE, because I know his will is better, stronger and filled with purpose. I can't wait to see what God will have me do next. What an adventure!

You are Accepted

A promise is a very special, important and binding deal made between friends. When you promise to do something, believe in something or help with something you are stating emphatically that you WILL do it. Promises are so desired by all kinds of people, that even little children make promises with their friends, because they crave the security and intimacy of their friendships.  It is sad, that as the years go on promises are made much too easily and without a great deal of thought or genuine intent. Husbands and wives promise not to leave each other, friends promise to be there for one another during hard times and families promise that they will always be there. However, these promises are frequently broken, whether by choice or by circumstance. This destruction of a promise does much to harm and confuse us, where it hurts, in our heart and soul. However, when we trust in God we are putting our trust in someone that is incapable of lying, unwilling to be disloyal and unable

Do Not be Anxious

The Bible tells us, over 400 times, to ‘fear not’. It is the most common command given to believers in the Bible. If the word of God tells us the same thing, so many times, then we need to realise that it must be important. That we need to learn from it and obey what he has asked us to do or not to do. ‘ Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.’ Philippians 4:5-7 It is important here, that we do not confuse mere ‘fear’ with the fear of God. We are told numerous times in the Bible to fear God, because our fear leads to understanding, knowledge, wisdom, goodness, God’s protection and, ultimately, salvation. To fear God is to respect God and know that he is a God of justice. He will not let evil go unpunished. Therefore, when we fear him we respect him and keep his c

Think like Mary

Luke 10:38-42 reads: “Now as they were travelling along, He [Jesus] entered a village; and a woman named Martha welcomed Him into her home. She had a sister called Mary, who was seated at the Lord’s feet, listening to His word. But Martha was distracted with all her preparations; and she came up to Him and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to do all the serving alone? Then tell her to help me.” But the Lord answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and bothered about so many things; but only one thing is necessary, for Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.” As I read these verses recently, they really struck a chord with me. As a Christian woman, especially as a Christian wife, I can understand and sympathise with Martha’s situation. Out of good intentions she welcomed the Lord into her home, and was making Him and His guests food and attempting to make everyone comfortable. And, in the scriptures, wives are en
