Be transformed by the renewing of your mind !

THE GARDEN CENTRE The centre of the Garden, which is you, is a place we travel towards. When we arrive, we discover that what we were seeking was within us all along. It is there that we discover who we are in God and why we are here. Once you know you belong to the One who gave His life for us, and know that you are loved, wanted, and held by Him, something changes within. As the patterns and demands of the world fall away, you discover that you have arrived back at the cent

BELONGING Joseph, Daniel, and the biblical difference between building a reputation and knowing who you belong to. For much of our lives we seek acceptance through achievement. We build names, positions, reputations, and titles, hoping they will give us a place to belong. Yet these things must constantly be defended because they were earned by human effort. But there is another way. There is a difference between building a reputation and knowing where you belong. One seeks

POWERLESSNESS "My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness." — 2 Corinthians 12:9 The widow who came to Elisha in 2 Kings 4 was completely powerless by natural standards. Her husband was dead, creditors were coming, her sons were about to be taken, and she had only a small jar of oil left. She had no apparent solution. Yet the miracle came through obedience to a simple instruction: "Go around and ask all your neighbours for empty jars. Don't ask f

HEAVEN ON EARTH We are the heavens and the earth. Jesus Christ came to earth as Heaven revealed within human form. We are made in His image and likeness, carrying both heaven and earth within us. Our voices, our nature, and our lives have the capacity to reveal heaven to the earth. Heaven and earth are not truly separated. The separation is within the human soul. The earth lives under the influence of the “prince of the power of the air,” moving through fear, division, pride,

WHAT IS FRUITFULNESS? From Religion to Living Peace and the Fruit of the Spirit We as human beings move through deep processes within the soul — from darkness into light, from inner turbulence into peace, from religion without life into true fruitfulness. Many begin in what could be called a dead church condition: outwardly functioning yet inwardly restless, striving, fearful, reactive, and disconnected from the living flow of God within. But through surrender, breaking, stil

Death Trap Many people prepare financially for retirement, but few prepare spiritually for the final years of life. The modern world normalizes decline, but the Bible teaches that God can sustain a person even into their later years. Many or most people meander through life without a thought toward the exit strategy called death. Many follow the same path — retirement villages, nursing homes, then the final procession toward a funeral. The cycle completes itself as though i

THE PORTHOLE We are the porthole of promise — on earth as it is in heaven. A porthole is an opening between two realms. Most of humanity never fully walks in the fullness of who we are in Christ because so many are still battling within the mind — what I call the outer court. The outer court is where fear, striving, broken emotions, guilt, conflict, and the unrest of human nature continue to rule. People live there for years, circling the same mountains within themselves. Yet

What affects the mind is often broken human emotion passed from one person to another. Fear pulls on fear. Anger pulls on anger. Control pulls on guilt. Sadness pulls on sadness. Most of humanity lives emotionally entangled with one another without even realising it. One person becomes unstable and the whole room shifts with them. One person becomes offended and others are pulled into the offence. One person carries fear and suddenly everyone is reacting to fear. This is why

SEEING THE PERSON There are people in this world who do not bend to fit into what others expect of them. They are often misunderstood. Labels are placed on them—terms like “anti-social”—because they do not move in the same way as others. But what I have seen is something different. They do not conform easily. They do not shape themselves to suit the expectations of others. They see things directly, and when pushed, they will speak what they see without filtering it. This can

What I wake up to each day. THE BLESSING As the veil lifts upon each day, I rise to meet the magnificence held within it.The sky is wide, and the land is uncluttered—yet alive. High on the edge of a cliff, everything feels open. In the morning, mist rises from the valley below like incense lifting in prayer. In the day, a small waterfall trickles into a lily-padded dam. Dragonflies dance across the water, and small finches dart from here to there. The kookaburra family sit al

When we first met Christ, we didn’t know it wasn’t just about meeting Him .As we have continued to know and follow Him, we see the restoration taking place in human form. Restoration is man fully alive. We have passed through the desert of the soul and renewed our minds, aligning with the mind of Christ. “Remember how the Lord your God led you all the way in the wilderness…” — Deuteronomy 8:2 “He brought me into a spacious place…” — Psalm 18:19 Then we are given the opportuni

DIGNITY Our dignity is something that can be robbed from us at the beginning of our life. Unless we were raised in a healed family that confirmed our worth and value as a child of God, most of us did not receive that privilege. Nor did our parents’ parents receive it to pass on. Dignity is standing in who you are, while allowing others to stand in who they are. There is respect both ways. “I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” — Psalm 139:14 Dignity car

Age Is Not Old Age is not the same as being old. One is truth. The other is a label. Age marks time. It simply tells you how long you have been here. Nothing more. But old …Old is something people place on you. It carries weight that was never meant to be yours. Old can mean worn out. Finished. Declining. Past your use by date. And if you are not careful, you will accept a word that begins to shape how you see yourself. In scripture, there is honour in age—not decline. Prove

STEPPING IN Stepping into the Holy Spirit has been a process of elimination — the stripping away of the fallen human condition until what remains comes completely from the Spirit within. To test oneself is not to measure outward behaviour, but to ask the question of God: Where in me is still living in the fallen condition? Not hidden from Him — but revealed to me. Because what remains unseen remains untouched. And what remains untouched continues to live. This is not a gentle

THE WAITING ROOM I sat and watched. Not just with my eyes, but with something deeper—something that could see beyond what was in front of me. The room was full. People waiting…but not just waiting for their names to be called. They were waiting in their bodies. Waiting in their thoughts. Waiting in what they had come to accept as life. And I was there… not as a patient. I was there caring for another. Sitting beside the system—not within it. Some spoke quietly to one another,

WITHOUT BLEMISH Each step with Christ our Lord reveals how wonderful and glorious He is.The love permeates through the pores of the skin. The first step being born again. Then the learning of the Word of God. Then the great journey of overcoming our fallen nature. Then the restoration of all things. To be presented to the King without spot or blemish is the restoring of all things back to their right order in Him. But restoration is not the end. There is a place beyond restor

COMPLETION If you allow the flame to stay alight, the completion of a human life reveals what has been ignited within. Not what we have gathered, but what has come alive—and not been forgotten. The music we love. The laughter and humour. The dance. The small things that make us smile and allow us to be ourselves. And the greatest of these—community. Family and friends coming together in harmony,each one bringing their gift, each one received as they are. This is life abundant

Easter Uncovered Easter is known as the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. But even within its traditions, there are signs pointing beyond what is seen. An egg carries life, yet from the outside, it appears closed, finished, contained. There is no evidence of what is within until the shell is broken. So it is with man. “Christ in you, the hope of glory.” — Colossians 1:27 The life is already there. The light is already present. But it is covered. We are like a lamp plac

The Throne Within “The lamp of the body is the eye… if your eye is single, your whole body will be full of light.” And the narrow way leads here— We have all known the moment of encounter. When Christ is no longer a thought, but a living presence. The Holy Spirit enters the body—not as an idea, but as a real and undeniable experience. And from that moment, the journey begins. There is a long road of overcoming. The fallen nature, the overcoming of striving and sinful flesh, a

We have all heard the scripture: “Offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true act of worship.” — Romans 12:1 As I have said before, there are two ways of following Jesus Christ. One road leads through human strength, and the other through the narrow path of the Spirit. Human strength strives; the Spirit flows. To walk in the Spirit is not learned through effort but comes through the laying down of one’s life. And as this is surrendered
