Be transformed by the renewing of your mind !

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

Not everything that speaks of God is flowing from the same source. There is a way of handling the things of God that becomes practiced and structured, where everything is known and repeated, flowing out of human endeavour. And there is a way that flows from within—not learned as a system, but received as life, flowing from the river within. Both ways can appear aligned, but only one carries life. The human way ages, becomes worn as it travels its path, reaching toward God. Th

We identify ourselves by the name given to us by our earthly parents, until we are called again. He was before all things.And in Him all things hold together. — Colossians 1:17 Before creation, He was. He spoke— and creation came. And into man, He breathed. Life was not separate from Him. It came from Him. It is sustained by Him. But something turned. Not His presence — but our awareness of Him. And in that turning, man began to live as though life were his own. So, He entere

Walls Came Down Letting the walls down in our heart is part of the healing process — to allow the river of love to flow and give life. For years, we have put walls up to protect ourselves from the harm that has come our way. But the Lord does not say to dam up the heart. He says, “I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.” — Ezekiel 36:26 A heart that feels again. A heart that lives again. A heart that can love again. Faith is not damming the

UNEQUAL LOVE Most families experience unequal love that God Himself has allowed to enter. Let us look at where the problem comes from, and the solution that Christ brought. Cain and Abel — jealousy begins The first conflict between brothers appears in the Book of Genesis. God accepts Abel’s offering but not Cain’s. “The Lord looked with favour on Abel and his offering, but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favour.” — Genesis 4:4–5 Cain interprets this as rejectio

GLORY RESTORED We have all fallen short of the glory of God,because love has been dammed off within us. As it is written: “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” — Romans 3:23 People search for love in all the wrong places. They look to another to complete them, yet they still fall short of the love they are seeking. Their days pass by, and the love within them remains pent up, unable to flow out. Their feelings were never truly met because they did not kno

Feeling Feelings As a society, through the generations, most of us have not been loved well. Because of this, the expression of our feelings is often misunderstood or shunned. When we share how we feel, it is often received as criticism by the person we are speaking to. Instead of being heard, our feelings are dismissed or defended against. It becomes like a barricade that prevents the feeling from being felt. So, we bury the feeling and carry on into the next day, pushing it
