 Psalm 42 7 I hear the tumult of the raging seas
      as your waves and surging tides sweep over me.
 8 But each day the Lord pours his unfailing love upon me,
      and through each night I sing his songs,
      praying to God who gives me life. Â

Psalm 134
 1 Oh, praise the Lord, all you servants of the Lord,
      you who […]

Psalm 19 (New Living Translation)Â
 The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display his craftsmanship.  Day after day they continue to speak; night after night they make him known.  They speak without a sound or word; their voice is never heard. Yet their message has gone throughout the earth, and their words to all […]

I love this song that the Israelites sing
 Numbers 21:17  “Spring up O well! Sing about it”
I mean have you ever seen a well that springs up? Normally wells just sit there and you throw stuff down into the deep blackness - like stones and pennies and then wait for the plop as it hits the water. […]

Job 38:6-8 (New Living Translation)
 6 What supports its foundations,
      and who laid its cornerstone
 7 as the morning stars sang together
      and all the angels shouted for joy?
 This passage is talking about the creation of things - before our time began- and yet we find singing and shouting are already in full swing. The heavenly beings are already shouting, praising God and […]

Exodus 15:2 (New International Version) 

    The LORD is my strength and my song;
       he has become my salvation.
       He is my God, and I will praise him,
       my father’s God, and I will exalt him.

I have been facinated by the fact that God is our song these last few weeks. I am hoping […]

Daniel 5:14 (Amplified Bible)
I have heard of you, that the Spirit of the holy God is in you and that light and understanding and superior wisdom are found in you.
I have been thinking about a man who stuck out amongst his peers - no matter what the cost. His name was Daniel. Right at the beginning of […]

I have been thinking a lot about the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives, the church and the world.
Genesis 1:1-2 (Amplified Bible)
   1IN THE beginning God (prepared, formed, fashioned, and) created the heavens and the earth.  2The earth was without form and an empty waste, and darkness was upon the face of the very great […]

We are nearly finished on our write in down series.
If we write things down we will be more likely to do something about them. If we keep ideas and words in our head they remain fluffly and dreamlike. When we write stuff down they become solid and real. If we speak them out to someone then […]

When God speaks we know he doesn’t lie. If he says something about us or a situation we are in we know whatever he says will happen.
Let’s take  Abraham for example. God said to him that he would have a baby. He looked at his shrivelled 100 year old body, looked at his shrivelled wife […]

We have been thinking about writing prophecies and words from God down and the the benifits of doing it. Today’s thought is how writing stuff down builds up our faith. Every time we have a prophecy and a word fulfilled it adds one more brick to our house of faith. We become taller, stonger, firmer and more mature.
In […]

God’s word is like onions (to quote Shrek) it has layers!! Just when you think a prophecy has been fulfilled you find it becomes relevant again at a later date.
Isaiah 45
 2 I will go before you
       and will level the mountains ;
       I will break down gates of bronze
       and cut through bars of iron.
 3 […]

This was a prophecy given by Keri Jones on a series of tapes about home groups. I remember listening to the tapes in 1996. I wrote the prophecy down as it really touched me at the time. It still challenges and excites me even today and would like to share it with you.
“For I am […]

When God talks to us for our good. It may be for our direction, healing, guidance, understanding but always for our good. How tragic it would be that the words he leant out of heaven to whisper so lovingly into our ear were forgotten.
The words whispered to Isaiah and Jeremiah have lasted over thousands of years […]

There are a fair few times when God asks people in the bible to write things down. He asks them to write down his instructions/commands (Ex 34:24), for a reminder (Ex 17:14), the date (Ez 24:2), a song (Deut 12:19), people’s names (Jug 8:4), prophecies (Is 30:8, Jer 30:2), specifications of the temple plans (Ezekiel 43:11) and what […]

Sam in his comment asks a great question.
“you know whats hard… being around people in college that continually talk about stuff that we are told to avoid listening to.
everywhere you go there’s people talkin about rubbish and stuff…
what do ya do in these situations?”
Â
Mmm good question. There are passages in the bible where Jesus says […]
