"Pray as if Your Life Depends on it, Because it Does." -Marylin Hickey


If you want to be supernatural, you must pray. When you pray, it sets your heart on things above,  Colossians 3:1 says..
"You were raised from death with Christ. So aim at what is in heaven, where Christ is sitting at the right hand of God.
Colossians 3:1 ICB

 I have seen indisputable evidence that prayer works, and that praying people succeed. Our level of effectiveness and power in life and ministry is directly proportional to the amount of time we spend in prayer. Praying and having intimacy with God is the foundation of a fruitful life. Do not initiate anything that you are not willing to saturate in prayer.

Think about this. The Bible says that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word is established. When you pray to the Father according to His Word, the Holy Spirit prays in agreement with you because He prays God’s Word too, in Romans 8 it says:

 "Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the  will  of God. And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose." 
Romans 8:26‭-‬28 NKJV. 

Since Jesus “always lives” to make intercession for you, He is praying for you also (see Hebrews 7:25). If we are praying God’s Word we should ask, “How many are praying God’s will?” The answer is three. And in the mouth of two or three witnesses your prayer is established.

When you pray according to God’s instructions, all of heaven is fighting for you. When the devil comes before God to accuse you, Jesus (your attorney) is seated at the right hand of God (your judge). When the devil enters the courtroom, everything is stacked against him because God the Father is your Judge, and Jesus the Intercessor is your Attorney.

Romans 8:31 says, “…If God is for us, who can be against us?” God has stacked prayer together to work in your favor and to bring to pass His will for your life and the lives of those for whom you are praying. You have three witnesses when you pray, and no force in hell can defeat you as you pray in faith, believing the Word can, and will, work for you.

Grace Whispers...Through the Waters

He could have parted the waters, but he did not.    Sometimes the tides came up high, other times it was low, I walked, stumbled, waded through each torrent.   When I pleaded with him to part the waters, make it easy, He said to me.. ‘why, but I am right here, with you, in it, You and I, together’.   I remember He had said he would never leave me yet there were times it felt like I struggled alone, wading through the tides with feeble hands and knees that barely held up.   I hear his whisper…’ keep moving, you’re doing just fine, these waters will not drown you, I am here, with you, in it’. I saw highways in the distance, people waltzing, it seemed, as they sped past, I   longed for this swift, smooth, jolly ride to destiny but I hear his whisper…’I know the plan and end I have for you, fix your gaze on me and walk with me, my way will reform, renew and restore you to your rightful place, trust me, it will not be a moment late’.   Hi...

God is God and You Are Not

The story of queen Esther - the Jew turned Queen of Persia, is one I have always found quite remarkable (you would find the story in the bible book of Esther). Throughout the whole reality-TV-type drama, (the first scene with the gals all lined up hoping to be selected queen, an ancient episode of The Bachelor, perhaps?), Queen Esther remained focused and clear.   Theres certainly a lot we can learn from her that will guide us as we navigate our own life circumstances, whether dire or humdrum. Following are some helpful lessons we can glean from Esther’s life.     Remember God is God and you are not.   When stuck in the muck of less-than-lovely circumstances, our first — and sometimes only — aim is to get ourselves out, and fast. With this line of thinking permeating our action plans, we can readily forget that we are not the ones in charge. Without a proper perspective, we face frustration. We try our level best to modify the circumstances, but we c...

Our Special Advent

   "...even in the dark of night God is at work, breaking through the husks around our hearts and bringing life, from under dead leaves" CS LEWIS Yesterday, we gathered to celebrate to offer thanks and prayers. As we reminisced about this year now winding down, we realised that even in what looked like utter darkness and uncertainty externally in our world, God was working on the inside, in the secret unseen places, healing, restoring, renewing, mending...getting us ready for our NEXT! C.S. Lewis once asked, “Why are so many holy places dark places? The cross, the tomb, the stable – they are holy because even in the dark of night God is at work, breaking through the husk around our hearts and bringing life from under dead leaves.”  The stable is where the love of God for His creation was born; the cross is where the love of God for His creation was displayed; and the tomb was where the love of God for His creation exploded in hope. God is able to turn all suffering to goo...
