​ What He’s Done. If you were to die tonight and get into heaven, on what basis upon arriving, can you substantiate your reason for being there and staying there? If you have the slightest temptation or inclination to even whisper the words “because I did this or because I did that”, then you have not understood the gospel message. There is only one answer that has qualified any person to enter th...

Write The Vision 2026 Part 2 The perils and pit falls of an aimless life accompany those who have lost their vision for it. The apostle Paul's incredible hardships he endured did not deter him, for he had a heavenly vision. In his own words, and in his own defence standing in a court of law, “Therefore king Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision.” Do you and I as we enter into 2026...

Write The Vision 2026 (Hab 2:2) Part 1 Before a commercial plane takes to the skies there is a flight plan that needs to be strictly adhered to as standard and mandatory procedure. It ensures that not only does the plane and its passengers depart, but also arrive safely, on time, and in one piece. As we embark on 2026, what does God have for us and for you? When planning for the next 12 months, do...

God Finishes His Work On the seventh day of creation God rested, for He had finished. Noah was commanded to build the ark according to God’s design. That assignment too was completed when God Himself closed the door. Moses built the Tabernacle in the wilderness, and Solomon, the temple in Jerusalem. All challenging projects according to God’s design, and all recorded in scripture as being finished...

It is only right that we do celebrate this moment in time when The King of Glory, Jesus the Son of the living God was born and to rejoice the world over, is fitting to do so. But it would be remiss of us all, to not only mention that He came, but also to rejoice in why He came. In Luke chapter 19 Jesus said, Today salvation has come to this house ... for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save...

Bondi: You Cannot Extinguish The Light. Genesis 1:3 Then God said “let there be light”, and there was light.’ If God created the light do you think for one moment that darkness, which much less has the capacity or ability to comprehend it, can extinguish it? At Bondi Beach on the first evening of Hanukkah, the festival of light; darkness tried to destroy the light of the Jewish people here on Aust...

Not The White House But God’s House The Lord said to the prophet Isaiah in chapter 40 that “the nations are as a drop in the bucket and are counted as the small dust on the scales.” Of its leaders “He brings the princes to nothing; He makes the judges of the earth useless.” The answer for every aspect of your lives will not be found in Government House or The White House but in God’s House. God’s...

We Would See Jesus At the height of His popularity and influence; Jesus, fulfilling the extraordinary word of prophecy to Daniel, rides into the ancient city of Jerusalem through the Eastern Gate of Jerusalem. A day foreordained before the dawn of time. The euphoria of the moment as the multitudes looked to their messianic hope to rid the scourge of Roman rule. Jesus words must have stunned all th...

Fresh Wind And Fresh Fire There is an answer to tired and powerless religion. After Jesus resurrection, His instruction and command was clear. “Go into the city of Jerusalem and wait until you are clothed with power from on high.” After the sound of the rushing mighty wind and tongues of fire came upon the believers; Peter, who only days before ran and denied under pressure, now preached his first...

Releasing Your Faith. Are you “hemmed and boxed in” and with apparently nowhere to go? The circumstances in life have left you with few or no options at all. It may be sickness, poverty, lack of resources or strife in your marriage and family. Then this message is for you. Moses too, was stuck between a rock and hard place. Pharaohs army bearing down on him and the Red Sea before him in an atmosph...

It's not what you know, but WHO you KNOW! Jesus prayed to His heavenly father in John 17:3 "And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent." To truly know the Lord in your heart, and not just in your head, is what counts in this life. The only thing that has any eternal value, is your relationship with Jesus Christ. The Lord loves you with...

Glory To God Psalm 96 gives us some great advice about giving glory to God, and the reason why. Exuberant praise effortlessly flows in this psalm for all the things that God has done and we, all peoples, families and even the heavens, the earth, the sea and the woods should rejoice and give to the Lord glory due to His name.  

Breakthrough Is On The Way! “Charters Towers Is Having A Move of God.” This is what we believe, and this is what we pray. The bible says in Job 22:28  that you shall declare a thing and it shall be established for you. The declaring is when we break through in faith. The establishing is Gods sovereign  move on our behalf. It is not something that we can do, but rather something that we can activel...

Your Mouth Is Powerful A Prophetic Word: “God is going to shape the future of this nation through the mouths of My people.” We should know the power of God is released when we speak. Our lips take us somewhere, and our lips are the steering wheel of our lives. Our tongues in scripture are described as a bit in a horse’s mouth, a rudder in a ship, and a forest fire set ablaze by this small member i...

“Breakthrough” Prophetic Word For Charters Towers: Ps Marcus Ardern. There has been a time of waiting as an arrow is drawn back. But when released, it will come with power and will hit its mark. God will breakthrough for the benefit of the people, and when the breach or opening is made, we are to follow through.  

Outrageous Faith When confronted with an unholy alliance of five Amorite kings, Joshua came to the rescue of the Gibeonites. In the heat of battle, while gaining the victory, Joshua wanted more time and said to the Lord: “Sun, stand still over Gibeon; And Moon, in the valley of Aijalon.”  Desperate times give rise to desperate, extravagant, ludicrous, ridiculous, and yes, outrageous prayers that h...

Uneducated, Untrained and Unstoppable. Peter and John were brought before religious authorities on the accusation that a lame from birth man was healed, and that a good deed was done for this helpless man. They, however, did not given in to intimidation, threats and violence. These authorities saw the boldness and marvelled at these uneducated and untrained men but noted that they had been with Je...

And He Called. In Genesis chapter 1, God made, and then called the night and the day, the firmament of heaven and the dry land. To call is to also name, which is the privilege and the assertion of ownership and sovereignty over it. Throughout Gods word, that divine call has gone out to men and women in every generation. Moses, Moses, Samuel, Samuel and Saul Saul. God calls people out from Egypt, t...

Is There Not A Cause? Divine destiny already revealed itself, when Jesus, only twelve years old responded to His anxious parents, “Why did you seek Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Fathers business.”  Holding Jesus firmly to the cause of the kingdom for His earthly ministry until the end, standing before Pilate, His words remained steadfast. “For this cause I was born, and for this cau...

No Blood No Glory God has ordained, before the foundation of the world, a process or protocol for sinful man to be able to enter the presence of a holy and righteous God. Man, once the pinnacle of God’s creation, but now separated from God because of sin, is not only to be forgiven, but to be able to stand in the glory of God. Fallen humanity and the glory of God do not coexist in heaven. How does...

Things aren't always what they seem. In this day of deception, firstly, we need to understand and know who God is. Romans 11:36 Secondly, if you are born again, and walking with God, you need to know who you are in Christ Jesus. 1 John 4:4,5

Charlie Kirk Assassination Is A Turning Point Early Thursday morning (AEST) many awoke to the devastating news that Charlie Kirk had been assassinated. At the age of 31 he had become a conservative voice of reason and common sense to a generation of youth raised in an intellectual atmosphere of indoctrination of leftist ideology which has totally hijacked our educational systems from day care and...

Father’s Day 2025 The first words that a baby often speaks is daddy, daddy, daddy. In the Hebrew language in which almost all the Old Testament was written that word is ab or abba (Aramaic) spoken to this very day in the streets of Israel. It is interesting to note that Ab or Abba also appears first in the Hebrew dictionary and our concordances. Jesus Himself used this baby talk term “daddy” in Hi...
