Be transformed by the renewing of your mind !

IF YOU CAN SEE JESUS, YOU CAN SEE YOURSELF. When we are told to seek His face, perhaps there is something far greater to discover than we have understood. For when we see His face, we begin to recognise our own. “After all, we were created in His image, fearfully and wonderfully made.” Yet mankind has spent centuries looking outward for the One who has made His dwelling within. “Jesus is the One we follow, and in doing so with diligence and an unwavering heart the ima

LOWER THAN THE ANGELS To begin our journey Beyond the Curse, I believe we must first explore who we truly are. “But now we see not yet all things put under him. But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour.” Hebrews 2:8–9 What if our imagination or mind has been confined by our understanding of being human, rather than by the glory with which God crowned humanity? The question we are asking is:

THE NEW FRONTIER We have all heard of people experiencing life after death, but what if we could experience that life while we are still alive? The New Jerusalem may not simply be about God dwelling with man. It may also be about humanity finally seeing Him as He is. “And they shall see his face.” — Revelation 22:4 Jesus lived looking into the face of the Father. He lived from the life of the Father while still walking upon the earth. He did not have to wait until His

Beyond the Curse These next writings are from my new book, THE NEW FRONTIER — BEYOND THE CURSE. We are moving beyond the overcoming of the fallen nature and beyond the journey of knowing the Father, into an exploration of what life will be like when Christ reigns for a thousand years with His people. THE NEW FRONTIER BEHOLD, I MAKE ALL THINGS NEW Revelation 21:5 Not returning to what was lost, but discovering what God is making new. We enter this earthly life unaware

BEYOND DEATH “For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” — Philippians 1:21 For years I have contemplated the life of Christ within us, a life that is not governed by the limitations of mortality. Recently, during a violent thunderstorm, a bolt of lightning came within two metres of my face. It happened so suddenly there was no time to think, react or even experience fear. There was an extraordinary flash of light, followed by a tremendous crack of thunder that shook

BLINDED BY THE BODY We spend much of our lives attending to the body. We measure its age, feed it, exercise it, massage it, treat its ailments and try to prolong its functioning. We are continually bombarded with information about maintaining the body in its present mortal condition. None of these things is necessarily wrong. But caring for the body can become an endless occupation, almost a dependency, where we believe our continued well-being rests entirely upon what we do

IMMORTAL “That mortality might be swallowed up of life.” — 2 Corinthians 5:4 Resurrection is going through the death that already lives within us. We carry mortality within our human existence, yet the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells within us. It is not the human body itself that must be overcome, but the mortality that holds the human body within the boundaries of death and corruption. Paul expresses something remarkable: “For we that are in this taberna

BEYOND EMOTION For years I have marvelled at the words Jesus spoke while hanging on the cross. “Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.” — Luke 23:34 I have found it relatively easy to forgive someone seventy times seven a day. But to forgive a crowd of people who had mocked, beaten and crucified an innocent man has been something I have struggled to comprehend. What depth of forgiveness was operating in Jesus that He could speak those words in the midst of such

THE BURDEN OF EMOTION People are broken, and emotions spill out all over the place. We often make others carry what belongs to us. I look at Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane. He was in such anguish that His sweat was as great drops of blood. Yet He did not pour His anguish onto those around Him. He took it to His Father. All He asked of His disciples was to stay awake and pray with Him. Even in His suffering, He did not make them responsible for what He was going through. Th

THE INWARD ALTAR Before we look for the Antichrist in the world, we must recognise whatever is antichrist within ourselves. In ancient Pergamon, in what is now Turkey, archaeologists uncovered a great altar. It was excavated and taken to Berlin beginning in 1871. Adolf Hitler was born in 1889, during the wider period in which the altar's discoveries were being brought to Germany. In its time, Nazi Germany became the centre of the Holocaust, in which approximately six million

THE STONE Recently I have been looking again at Daniel’s prophecy and at what is happening within the human race. We are living in an extraordinary time. Knowledge is increasing. Information that once took months or years to obtain is now at our fingertips. And with the development of artificial intelligence, humanity is creating something extraordinarily powerful. Daniel was told: “Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.”— Daniel 12:4 I am not saying Daniel

I NEVER KNEW YOU I have had a thought floating in and out for the past few weeks. Then it took root and landed, and I couldn't remove it. We can serve God, know about God, and do great things in His name, yet still remain on the peripheral of going deeper into Him. There comes a time when everything surrounding God is no longer enough. The teachings. The service. The things we do in His name. Even the things we have believed about Him. Something within begins to draw us beyon

As spoken in the last writing, every generation carries its portion of the coming of Christ. Every generation passes something forward. But ultimately, the generations will be gathered together in Him. The people who carried Christ through different generations are brought together. Jesus speaks of His elect — His chosen ones. “He will send His angels... and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.” — Matthew 24:31 His elec

Every generation that has truly seen something of the Father's heart has naturally felt the weight of what it has seen. They have seen something of Him so clearly that it can feel as though, This is it. We are the generation that will bring the fullness of Christ into the earth. But perhaps what they were actually experiencing was their portion of His unfolding. No generation has carried His coming alone. Each generation carries something of the revelation of Christ and hands

THE FATHER IN US We all carry ideas about God. Some come through religion, tradition and teaching. Others arise from humanity’s own limited or distorted understanding of who God is. We were made in God’s image. Yet we often remake God in our image. Jesus came to reveal the Father and to free us from the limits of our understanding. In the Old Testament, sacrifice became central to the way people approached God. But did God give the command to sacrifice, or was sacrifice creat

WHO YOU ARE? As we explore the life beyond the manufactured life of ourselves — the ego, the identity we have constructed and learned to protect — we begin to discover who we really are. We were made in His image. For a long time those can simply be words written on a page. We confess them, believe them and hope that perhaps one day we will actually see ourselves that way. But what happens when they become truth within us? “So God created man in His own image; in the image of

PRIESTHOOD For generations, we have learned to see the Body of Christ through an established structure. Clergy and laity.Those who minister and those who are ministered to. Those who stand at the front and those who sit before them. Without realising it, this can become the lens through which we understand our relationship with God. But the New Covenant gives us another picture. Peter writes: “You also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood

In the beginning there was an awakening of the spirit within called a Born Again experience. When you know without a shadow of a doubt that there is a God and His name is Jesus Christ. This experience paved the way to know Him and His Word. With the delight of this new relationship, all you want to do is serve Him. Until the day comes when He says, “Follow Me.” Following Him becomes a blind walk of faith. We do not know where He is taking us or what the journey will require.

THE SOURCE OF LIFE There are many people in life who will try to tempt us to be drawn away from our Source, which is Christ. They may attack us with words, accuse us, misunderstand us or deliberately look for a reaction. They are drawing from their source. And sometimes that source is putrid. It carries anger, bitterness, accusation, jealousy, hurt and all the things that have collected there over a lifetime. When they speak from that place, there is a temptation for us to re
