See, I’m Doing Something Small
I asked God about the year we’re heading into, what’s going on spiritually, what’s on His heart for us. I heard Him say, “See, I’m doing something small” It made me smile, that way that God speaks to me, I felt the warmth of His humor that pulls me in, as always, to the intriguing conversation with the Holy Spirit.
Prophetic Integrity in a Political World
I've been procrastinating for months on writing this article because quite frankly I wasn't sure I should write it. When is it right to speak? And more importantly what motivates us to speak up? These questions have been at the forefront of my mind. I've wrestled with...
Heavens operator of finance!
Last night I had a dream. A dream, I believe God imparted some insight to me. I was in heaven and I got introduced to the operator of finance there. Now just an aside, I don't often have dreams where I'm in heaven and I've also never ever met an operator of finance...
The Weary Traveler and the Energy of Longing
Two weeks ago, I was cradling my Starbucks coffee in Philadelphia airport. I had 4 hours layover and I already regretted my choice to save some dollars by booking a complicated trip back home from England. Within a week I'd travelled from Denver to London Heathrow,...
Prophecy in the fog
I was on a morning walk a few days ago and I began to ask God to give me some insight into what was happening in our world right now. I immediately saw a vision (with my physical sight) of a thick billowing fog rolling across the earth. The Holy Spirit didn't...
Dot To Dot Jesus
Just over a month ago, while I was visiting England, I had a prophetic image come to my mind. I saw in my mind’s eye a map of the world and on top of it was an elaborate Dot To Dot image of the face of Jesus. I’m assuming most of you know what I mean by Dot To Dot ?...

Forts and Bridges
I've just launched my book 'simply word and spirit' at a conference in Bristol, UK called 'Release2016'. It was a real honor to do this as the charity behind the conference lovebristol are dear friends of mine. As I was preparing to lead my session to talk about the...
Prophetic Delay
The Prophetic Delay Sunny but still cold The other morning my son Titus came bursting into my room saying “Mommy its sunny, its sunny.” I found it sweet that such things excited him. I got up and got everyone ready for the pre-school run. I looked out the window and...
Prophetic Hope – Advent
Prophecy is supposed to have a positive effect upon us as Christians. The bible teaches that it injects life into our church, it encourages and builds up the individual. A prophetic word can also help us walk into our destiny. However, one of the most interesting impacts of prophecy is it’s ability to establish and solidify hope. Prophecy brings visibility, colour and a vibrancy to the christian hope – it creates a little window into the future and allows us to peer inside giving us enough vision for that hope to become real.
The Seer
How do you hear from God? How do you sense what He's doing? One of the ways the bible talks about people tuning into God’s heart is having a ‘seer gift’. In my time as a pastor (back in the day) I witnessed many people mis-understand this gift - thinking it was only...
It’s About Time
I was chatting with God yesterday and felt Him say (kind of out of the blue) “It’s all about timing”. I prayed and then I had a vision of many people who’d had something that they had been working on but was not quite yet public - something important to them (a new...
The Gold Steering Wheel
This morning as I was driving my son to preschool the sun shone on a brooch I was wearing and lit up my steering wheel as if it was gold glitter. I felt God say (strangely) that He was giving some people an upgrade of a GOLD STEERING WHEEL! He is upgrading the...
Wise Sight
I was spending time with God and in my minds eye I saw a picture of an Owl wearing glasses! Then I heard God say "I'm bringing Wise Sight". I asked God what this meant and felt Him this; The Seer prophetic gift is being released in this season but it will be given to...
The Dandelion Effect
“Out of the eater, something to eat; out of the strong, something sweet.” One of my favourite snippets of the bible is the story where Samson shares a riddle to his thirty wedding companions. It’s not the riddle itself that I love, more the story that precedes...
