What is God is like? God doesn’t leave us GUESSING. He didn’t WAIT for us to come looking for Him. He initiated relationship with us. He came to be WITH US, to show us.

You can't keep doing the same things and expect another result. Spiritual growth is to face the reality and dare to do something different like the 4 lepers in 2 kings 7: their new thought became words and then action. The consistency of your actions will change your character and then your destiny and the destiny of others around you!

We are called to live a life of confident humility. The most fragile person I know is me. Keep me safe from myself and the baited hook.

Often we find it difficult to forgive genuinely and completely, because we practice a form of forgiveness that is neither biblical or healing.

Ask Father for everything you need, that includes EVERYTHING. Food, housing, work, friends, wisdom, solutions, provision, money, car to pass its MOT, etc, etc... That's how we live grateful and reliant.

The Kingdom REFLECTS THE KING: He is Good (Galatians 5:22), He wants our Good.

Being Persistent, consistent, and resistant because of contentment and satisfaction makes the believer unstoppable.

God is our Father and we are His children, an invitation to enjoy intimacy and connection.

Your physical/emotional health is more than just about diet, nutrition, exercise and sleep. Our inner world/joyful mind/rejoicing heart has the capacity to prevent and treat bring health to our body, to cure, to heal.

God is happy within himself. God’s joy is not conditional on anything external. He invites us into His reality.

“I have permission to be hopeless about anything God is hopeless about. But since He is the God of all hope, as we are told in Romans 15:3, that narrows the opportunity for hopelessness down quite a bit." -Wendy Backlund.

How to get joy and hope.

How we see the church will shape how we interact and engage with it. If we don’t see it properly we will engage with it wrong. The church is not a business supplying a service but a family.

Jesus does not want disappointment, discouragement, and disillusionment to cause us to retreat from the adventure of a faith walk with Him. So He pursues us to bring us into his freedom.

Grace empowers us to do what God loves, we are not commanded to give....his grace is at work in us.

Paul says he learnt the secret, the recipe of contentment. Totally satisfied. Freedom from a wrong kind of hankering that can exhaust. (Philippians 4:12)

Paul one of the most visionary people in scripture, he was unstoppable. Paul could say I'll succeed in jail, I'll succeed as a millionaire. I'll succeed if people think I'm great and succeed if people don't think I'm great and don't even like me. I will succeed in everything I do. Nothing can make me respond negatively. I am not a victim to delay or success.

A talk given at Church of the Cross. Stillness is about ceasing to strive, Let go, stop. Say that’s enough. and considering ourselves safe. We live in the smile of God.

The life of faith is not a self improvement programme, it's a God discovery programme. Faith is about your connection to God. Faith is how you get to know God. Genuine faith is about genuine connection to God.

Paul explores God's gift of rest.

Our relationship with God becomes dysfunctional and strange if we believe the lie that God needs us to perform for him otherwise He becomes moody, distant, and scary.

There is nothing more precious than peace of mind. There is an invitation from Jesus to find rest for our souls, our minds and emotions. Keeping company with Jesus is how we learn to live freely and at rest.
