When I decided I wanted to squat 180kg, I did not go and find someone who had never done it to ask how. When I decided to marry Amanda, I spoke to people whose marriages I admired and asked for wisdom. When I planted the first Tree of Life, I went and asked pastors whose churches IContinue reading “God is Big, Now Start Acting Like it 05 Choose Your Counselors Carefully”

God is Big, Now Start Acting Like it 04 Only Believe!
Smith Wigglesworth would get the congregations he was preaching at to sing over and over two simple words “only believe” . Only believe! Jesus once opened His mouth and deliberately and carefully said: “all things are possible, if we believe”. That’s not a whimsical statement, Jesus is not whimsical. It’s truth. It’s real, deep, life-changing truth. When we believe in God,Continue reading “God is Big, Now Start Acting Like it 04 Only Believe!”
God is Big, Now Start Acting Like it 03 Value Yourself
God is big, and wonderful, and glorious and everything God does is big, wonderful and glorious, and God made you, so you have value. A painting by a master painter is inherently worth more than a painting by someone with no artistic talent. God is a master creator and He created you and you haveContinue reading “God is Big, Now Start Acting Like it 03 Value Yourself”
God is Big, Now Start Acting Like it 02 Stop Thinking Small
One of the things I have been trying to do everywhere I minister is just get people to accept the Bible is God’s Word and believe it and receive it. I remember as a young man, a brand-new Christian, reading the Bible, especially the gospels over and over and getting so excited about this newContinue reading “God is Big, Now Start Acting Like it 02 Stop Thinking Small”
God is Big, Now Start Acting Like It 01 Get Out of the Wilderness
The fact that most Christians are living in the wilderness with Moses rather than a land flowing with milk and honey, and enjoying all of God’s promises with Joshua has become a cliche, but that does not stop it being true. Most Christians are thankfully not in a literal wilderness walking around in circles gettingContinue reading “God is Big, Now Start Acting Like It 01 Get Out of the Wilderness”
The Glorious Power of the Tithe 22: Tithing is a Talent Part 06 – Not Tithing Tends to Uselessness!
At the end of the parable of the talents, the man with the one talent who buried it had his talent taken off of him! Then the “unprofitable servant” has to be cast into “outer darkness”! The word unprofitable means useless. Not tithing will always lead you into being useless. I recently had to buyContinue reading “The Glorious Power of the Tithe 22: Tithing is a Talent Part 06 – Not Tithing Tends to Uselessness!”
The Glorious Power of the Tithe 21: Tithing is a Talent Part 04 – God is Not A Conman
I have had to deal with more than one situation as a pastor where someone in one of the churches I am responsible for has been cheated of money. A conman has come into their lives and persuaded them to invest and the whole thing has been a total sham, a fraud. On the widerContinue reading “The Glorious Power of the Tithe 21: Tithing is a Talent Part 04 – God is Not A Conman”
Andrew Wommack Minister’s Conference day 4(pm) – Faith
What an evening. Worship was again at another level, and what really blessed me was so many singers and instruments. I started praying for more musicians and singers in all of our churches, especially Dagenham. A flute would be awesome, drums, and so much more. The increase of sound will make worship easier and moreContinue reading “Andrew Wommack Minister’s Conference day 4(pm) – Faith”
Andrew Wommack Minister’s Conference day 3(pm) – the Sanctity of Life
Tonight, rather than the usual praise and worship, we saw a dramatisation of the overturning of Roe vs Wade. The issue of abortion is a very emotional and divisive one, but this dramatisation was clear, powerful and personal, showing us how an abortion does not just affect an unborn baby but the mother and theContinue reading “Andrew Wommack Minister’s Conference day 3(pm) – the Sanctity of Life”
The Glorious Power of the Tithe 20: Tithing is a Talent Part 03 – Tithe When You Have A Little
When the man who buried his talent was making excuses for himself, he said he was afraid he would not make much profit (Matthew 25.25). In other words, he was embarrassed at the size of his talent. He didn’t think it would make much difference. When you are in a church where the budget isContinue reading “The Glorious Power of the Tithe 20: Tithing is a Talent Part 03 – Tithe When You Have A Little”
