Today's thought - 03 July 2026 (Journey on)


 

I myself will be the shepherd of my sheep, and I will give them rest. I will seek out the lost one, bring back the stray, bandage the injured, and heal those that are sick. I will watch over the fat and healthy of the flock. I will be a true, caring shepherd to them. I, Lord Yahweh, have spoken. (Ezekiel 34:15-16)

I just love this verse. Our church’s vision is to win the lost at any cost and to plunder hell and populate heaven. At this stage in my life, I can honestly not imagine a moment without the Lord and His strength and His guidance and His protection over me.

More so do I desire that everyone should experience God in all areas and challenges in their lives. God is literally moving mountains in my life as we had an amazing day in court yesterday and literally all the weapons that was formed did not prosper.

My dear friend, God is good and His mercies renews each day. Each day we are showered by His grace and love and each day in our lives is a gift.

We all have challenges and battles and sometimes those are a journey that God takes us through to prepare us for what lies ahead and even in the bad God creates good because the battles that we face are not only for our lives but our obedience and trust in the process will affect other also. For in our faith lies our testimony and, in our testimony, God can flow streams of living water through us.

Just as Abraham never saw his promise in full, which by the way still stands today, we also might not see the ripple effects of our obedience.

Just as Josef trusted God and was hated by those close to him, sold into slavery and even when he continued to do what God placed on his heart, he was constantly facing obstacles and deceit and finally ended in jail for a number of years before he was released and placed into the very position God showed him when he had his dreams. Josef said in forgiveness to those who sold him into slavery, that what was intended to destroy him, God used for good.

In the same way God will use what comes into our lives to destroy us, for good and it will touch lives because we can help other better once we have been through the storm.

My dear friend, nothing that we do for God is insignificant and God can take anyone willing and change people. Therefore, more so the importance of my verse. God will be the Shepherd and He will save His people, and He will give them rest and heal them.

David writes in Psalm 23:3, “He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake”.

God will step in and change your circumstances and heal and restore you in all that you face. Please just trust Him and stay on your path.

Have an awesome day.

Today's thought - 02 July 2026 (More)

 


Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. (James 5:16)

The Holy Spirit is still putting this on my heart for there is so much more in healing than we can comprehend sometimes. Now what is again important is James’s words here in James 5, “The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much”.

Now we are carrying on from where we were yesterday for it is important that we build a foundation here. Let’s break it down (sounds like a song, but believe me it will end in praise):

Effectual / Fervent: Modern translations interpret this as being "powerful and effective" or "having great power". It speaks to the passionate, heartfelt nature of the request.

Righteous: This refers to someone who is in right standing with God. Rather than meaning flawless or without sin, it points to a believer whose life reflects a genuine faith and who maintains a clean conscience by confessing faults and turning away from sin.

Availeth Much: It yields tangible, dynamic results. The prayer moves mountains, brings healing, and shifts circumstances.

Oooo… exciting Word. Ok let’s summarize. I keep saying how important prayer and reading the Word is. Now James confirms this and more so the power of prayer. My friend, what a man thinketh, he is. What a man (woman) speaks has great power.

The scriptures highlight that you do not need to be a "super-saint" for your prayers to matter. James uses the example of the prophet Elijah to illustrate this truth. Elijah was a human with the same struggles as anyone else, but because he prayed earnestly, his prayers literally changed the weather (halting rain for three and a half years and then bringing it back).

In essence seek the kingdom or heaven (seek the Holy Spirit) above all else and all will work out for good.

Have an awesome day, my friend.

Today's thought - 01 July 2026 (Anything)

 


So, yesterday I said, “It is not the sickness or the addiction but the very lie that binds us to it. And if that sickness means my end and I will spend eternity with my Lord, well I guess that is fine, because I will go home to my Lord”.

I feel that I need to add to this, because I do not mean that if a sickness will mean my end that I will just give up and let it run its course. I believe that God can heal anything, and I believe that with all my heart. I think it is almost as the situation with the furnace that Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego were thrown in. It is simply that God can change any challenge, but if He does not, I will continue to praise Him for in both scenario’s I will be fine.

In Matthew 4 we read, “And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people”.

You see Jesus walked in the power of the Holy Spirit and as I told you before Jesus basically mimicked the way we should live our lives and especially the way we should walk with the Holy Spirit. Jesus on many occasions separated Himself from people to pray. His example of how much time He spend in prayer should be the blueprint that we should strive towards.

Now, what I am trying to say is that Jesus heals. He healed many people and He said, “Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you”.

In Mark 16 Jesus said, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well”.

God’s heart is to heal people. Not just of sickness but of everything that bounds them and keeps them from living a life of abundance. It is not that God does not heal, it is in our hearts and in our faith that we hold back, and God can’t work through us.

My dear friend, I keep saying this and maybe we should hear it often. Your walk and your intimate relationship with the Holy Spirit are vital to your life in the kingdom of God. It is when we live closer to Him that He will reveal all things to us and He will work His miracles through us. In His time and in His will and in His way. We need to step up and align ourselves with that and the only way is in the Word seeking more of Him every day.

Have an awesome day my friend.

Today's thought - 30 June 2026 (The Giant)

 


So, there is this story of this young boy David that took provisions for his brothers who were on the battlefield facing a very relentless enemy. Now funny thing is when he arrived there, there was this ginormous human standing on the other side of the army of David’s brothers taunting them and shouting all kinds of funny remarks. David was shocked when he heard the things this man was shouting and it made him furious for this man was not just mocking the army, he was also mocking God.

David felt this stirring in his heart, and he went before the king and said that if no man is willing to face this brute, he will. He said (and this is quite important) that God is and will be with him just as God was with him when a bear attacked or when a lion attacked the sheep he was watching over and that God will deliver this giant in his hand.

We all know what happened then. David walked onto that battlefield with this laughing giant mocking him and he defeated him.

Sometimes the giants we face are not in front of us, but they come in the form of poverty or sickness or addiction or fear. Sometimes our giants are ourselves. I was reminded this Sunday by our Pastor of Ephesians 6:12, “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms”.

It is not the man we are fighting but the enemy behind him or her. It is not the person we see but the unseen enemy that hides in the shadows. It is not the sickness or the addiction but the very lie that binds us to it. And if that sickness means my end and I will spend eternity with my Lord, well I guess that is fine, because I will go home to my Lord.

My friend, today I am saying, “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go” and your giants will fall.

Have an awesome day.

Today's thought - 29 June 2026 (Live more)

 


Our scripture comes from Jeremiah 5 today and our Pastor spoke of a “Better life” yesterday. Now I do hope you had a great weekend and that you are up and ready for this week. Monday, right. Well, most people see Monday as doom and gloom and after the weekend they always dread a Monday hence the popular saying, “Its Monday” and with that they add all the negative stuff that is happening.

Well, I am going to throw a brick in that and tell that it’s not because it’s Monday, no my friend it is because your enemy, the devil, walks around like a lion ready to destroy. Our Pastor pointed to this scripture in John 10, “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy”.

That is exactly why Mondays, or any other day can become quite a challenge. So, the thief comes to destroy, but the verse goes on….

The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly” (John 10:10).

So, what does Jesus say. He says, yes, this guy (the devil) is going to try and take your joy and your peace and your stuff, but I (Jesus) have come to change that so that through me you will have real life. Not artificial worldly nonsense but real life, real joy, real hope and a real future. And more so, you will have it abundantly.

Now let’s look at my verse in Jeremiah 5, “Do you not fear Me?’ says the LORD.
‘Will you not tremble at My presence, who have placed the sand as the bound of the sea, by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass beyond it? And though its waves toss to and fro, yet they cannot prevail; Though they roar, yet they cannot pass over it”.

God says here He placed the sand in the ocean, and the waves comes and goes but they cannot pass over it.

This is what I want to tell you today. Fear God with respect and love and honour Him with your time and your blessings. Give Him first place, in other words seek first God above all else and then He will put you in a place of safety as the enemy comes in waves to try and steal from you, but he will not prevail. He will surely fail and the light of Jesus that is in you will remove all darkness and you will sure have a better life every day and you will have more joy because if God is for us, who can be against us.

Have an awesome day, my friend

Today's thought - 27 June 2026 (Joy over sorrow)

 

Isaiah 61 is one of my favorite chapters in the Bible. Isaiah 61 is a prophetic message of divine restoration, healing, and freedom. It proclaims that God will rescue His people from their spiritual and physical exile, replacing their grief with joy, and transforming them into strong, righteous witnesses to the world. 

Hence my verse the Holy Spirit places on my heart today, “And provide for those who grieve in Zion— to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display of his splendour” (Isaiah 61:3 NIV).

God is focusing on restorative power, promising to give "beauty for ashes" (or a garland/turban for ashes), the "oil of joy" for mourning, and a "garment of praise" instead of a faint spirit. The ultimate goal is that people will be called "trees of righteousness," planted by the Lord to display His glory.

My dear friend, in your battles God will move bringing joy and praise in the midst of your storms rooting you in His promises and in His Word so that you will be a fountain of life in the tribulations you face.

I remind you that Jesus said to be of good cheer because He has overcome this world. Seek Him above all else and do not neglect your prayer and Bible time. There is power in His Word and the more time we spend in it, the more God will show us what lies ahead and guide us in our journey.

Have an awesome day.

Today's thought - 26 June 2026 (Up and down)

 


Do you also have ups and downs? One day you feel like you can move all the mountains and the next day you struggle to get out of bed. I have those and somedays I just want to stay in bed, and I have to drag myself out to start my morning exports so the figures for the day are uploaded and ready.

I wish I had this waterproof five-point plan that you can apply each day and poof you are ready to go. Imagine that. In fact, some days it feels like do not stop at start and do not collect your hundred dollars. Go straight to jail (misery).

The Bible is pretty clear on this. Jesus said if the world hates you, remember it hated Him first. The enemy is always walking around like a lion ready to consume you and we are like sheep to the slaughter every day. Jesus said you will have tribulation.

Yes, I know it is very somber and if that was my attempt to a five-point get-up and go plan, I think I have lost you. What did Jesus also say?

He said that He overcome this world. He said that He is sending us a helper. He said He will never leave us nor forsake us and that He is with us to the end. He said that He intercedes for us daily. He said that He defeated death, sin and the enemy and that He was given all authority in heaven and earth which He gives to us.

My dear friend, I am going to let you ponder this. The widow whom Elisha said to fill all her jars with oil in 2 Kings 4 did not stop getting oil. They stopped bringing jars. The oil from her jar did not stop until they gave up and could not find more jars.

God’s mercy and His love and His blessings does not run out. We stop trusting Him and we lose faith. God is unlimited. That is why Jesus said in Matthew 6, “Therefore do not be like them. For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him”.

Your jar is not empty, my friend. Just keep trusting and let God show you the way.

Have an awesome day.

Today's thought - 25 June 2026 (Read, Pray and Repeat)


I would have lost heart, unless I had believed That I would see the goodness of the LORD In the land of the living. I am reading this verse in Psalm 27, and I feel how the Holy Spirit says, “Did I not say so?”. You know it may feel at times I am repeating myself but honestly maybe I do. Maybe sometimes I have to hear myself say it again.

I aways come back to my court case, but I believe what I face and what I see and what I experience is relevant to me and to you. We have to complete our answering affidavit after another attack was launched to try and keep my daughter from me and to alienate her from me more. So, I bought this new printer to print what in the end was a 185-page affidavit with annexures. Now first I struggled to get it to work while I have very limited time to read through all and to print it. Finally, when I am done and amendments were made, the printer ran out of ink. To top it all off there are no 24-hour internet cafés in my area. When I finally got to one, they only have computers and no printers.

Simple things like this will drive people insane. In the end my one friend got up at two in the morning, printed what was left to print. I drove to the police to get them all commissioned and signed and waited in front of a PostNet until they opened so I could quickly scan all the pages and send it to my lawyer, who by the way also got up before dawn to make sure I am fine and that I am able to get it all done. How amazing is that?

One thing I can testify to and that is not only is Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit vital in my day-to-day life and how I remain stable and at peace throughout this, but the people the Lord brings into my life is amazing. My lawyers, my advocate, my Pastors, my friends, my work, my boss and my church and even the Police have been God send and there are no other words to describe them. They are unbelievable and amazing people. I thank God for them literally every day.

The end is near my friend. It is near. I always write to you on how important your relationship is with the Holy Spirit and believe me it may sound like I have nothing else to say, but it is unbelievable how He carries me through all this and how He just gives me peace.

Now listen to this (Galatians 5): “Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God”.

If you look at people and how they deal with things and how they live their lives, especially people who wants to hurt you or deceive you, then you will see many of these works (as Paul calls them) are visible in their lives. When the Holy Spirit is not part of your life or important to you, you will fall into any of these default reactions or actions, and you will feel no guilt or fear for your actions. If He is ignored He will be quiet. Then Paul continues to say: “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another”.

I am everything but perfect and I still have a long way to go, but I can tell you I have seen how the Holy Spirit produces these fruits in my life when I would otherwise be lost and beaten. You have to understand the context. Not only is it this court case but we are busy with one of the hardest and most time-consuming projects that constantly deviates as other things are added or needed and each one is important and must be done as soon as possible. This means that I literally sit and work every day and most nights.

In the midst of all God says: “Be still and know that I am God and I am with you in it all. It shall be well”.

Do I need to say more?

Have an awesome day, my friend.

Today's thought - 24 June 2026 (Don't just walk but run for God)

 


My dear friend, there are a few things this morning that are on my heart and I believe the Holy Spirit is guiding us in a direction. It starts with Ezekiel 33:13, “When I say to the righteous that he shall surely live, but he trusts in his own righteousness and commits iniquity, none of his righteous works shall be remembered; but because of the iniquity that he has committed, he shall die”.

So, we know faith without works is dead and we can not please God without faith. Faith is the substance of things hoped for, and the evidence of things not seen. Now here in Ezekiel the Holy Spirit reminds me again that we cannot go through the fire on our own for then we will surely burn (die). If we attempt to walk this journey on our own our righteousness will fail and we will fall. In other words, if we try to live in our purpose without the Holy Spirit or His guidance we will fail.

Then He goes on in Jeremiah 3:3, “Therefore the showers have been withheld,
And there has been no latter rain. You have had a harlot’s forehead; You refuse to be ashamed”. And here He is telling me if I attempt any of what lies ahead without Him or His guidance my rain will be withheld. He basically says that His favour and His blessing will not rest upon us if we try to walk on our own or continue to sin. We need to confess our sins and ask the Lord to wash us in His blood so that we can be fully righteous before God and ask Him for a pure and clean heart and a right spirit so we can hear His voice clearly and follow His direction without any guilt.

Then He says in Psalm 27:14, “Wait on the LORD; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the LORD!”.

In essence without the Holy Spirit, I am toast. I can testify to this because honestly without Him I would have lost my mind by now and I would have given up. The time and the pain and the costs and the crap surrounding this whole court case would have destroyed me months ago was it not for the Holy Spirit. His hand is constantly on this from the day it landed on me and how someone just stepped in to assist me financially and still do. From being calm and respectful with someone who lies and deceives to even willing to help her. To being arrested and the case not enrolled and no bail was needed to be paid to the amazing legal team that fights this battle to God’s hand and favour on my life, because I have not for one moment needed to worry about finances and I continue to tithe and give as much as I can and I keep obeying whatever God puts on my heart and I stop all that He does not agree with.

This is God and this is one miracle after another. People I pray for got healed. Men on the street who is forgotten by the world now goes to church and read a Bible. People from my work start to listen to our church sermons and they go to church. In the midst of my worst battles yet, God continue to do miracle after miracle. Why? Because I keep my eyes on Him and when I fall, I go on my knees before Him, and I confess and ask for forgiveness, and I stand up stronger and more determined. Because I dare not take my eyes of Him. Now He is saying that in the days ahead this attitude will be even more important and I need to walk closer with Him. That is why He says wait patiently and be of good courage. He will give us strength in it and He will be with us.

All I can say is that if God is for me, who can be against me.

Do not be dismayed or confused but remain focussed on Jesus and make your prayer time a priority each and every day.

If He can do all this for me, He can do it for you. Just seek Him above all else and trust His way and His time. Soon it will all be over and God will be glorified in my testimony, and many will know that He is God and I will continue to serve Him and worship Him no matter what.

Have an awesome day, my friend.

Today's thought - 23 June 2026 (Tribulation)

 


Ok, so today’s message is kind of a dual message. Two things are on my mind hence my very somber scripture, but I believe the Holy Spirit is placing this on my heart for a reason. So, here we go.

Ezekiel 32 is a prophetic message from the prophet Ezekiel that pronounces the fall and judgment of Egypt and its ruler, Pharaoh. It delivers a stern warning about the consequences of human pride and highlights that no earthly power, no matter how great, is exempt from God’s justice.

Now Jesus said in John 16:33, “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world”. Now this scripture has pretty much become one that is daily on my mind since this whole court case started, but why today so much.

I wrote earlier in one my messages that I did not realize for some time how many people all over the world reads my blog and I have to emphasize this. It is and will always be an honour and a privilege to write to you my friend and please know that I do not take this lightly, but I understand the importance of sharing what God puts on my heart. Now with that in mind I also realise that many of you reading this blog are in countries where Christianity is not celebrated freely and that you are persecuted for your faith in Jesus Christ.

This makes writing to you even more important and sharing what God does in my life and in the lives or other more relevant. You see Paul writes in Romans 5, “And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope. Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us”.

You see my faith and my love of Christ has taken me through lies, deceit, loss, pain and even prison. Yet, in all of this I remain focused on the Lord my God and on Jesus Christ who saved me.

So, what I am trying to say is that we face tribulation and we go through stuff, but God’s Word remains unchanged and we must never live for this world but for the life after this. Yes, we may be persecuted and even killed but to live is Christ and to die is gain for we know that in the end we will live forever in the house of the Lord and all that we face now is but a mere moment.

Then part two, is simply in the end we will all stand before the judgment seat of God, and we will face His wrath for the things we have done. Do not underestimate your value in the kingdom of God but boldly live out your faith and save as many as you can. For one more salvation is one less lost.

I love you, my friend, and I know it is hard, but know this. God is with you all the way. I know this because I see it so clearly every day. No matter the outcome of my day, I will still praise His name. It shall be well.

Have an awesome day.

Today's thought - 22 June 2026 (Waves)

 


And Peter answered Him and said, “Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.” (Matthew 14:28)

Today is my little girl’s birthday and you can imagine it is hard not being able to see her or talk to her due to the nonsense that one person started for her own selfish gain. I know it will all be over soon and the truth will come out and that God is fighting this battle for me, but it still hurts and it is still hard and I miss her so very much.

Peter is on my mind since yesterday and I will share with you why. Peter got out of the boat and walked towards Jesus on the water. Joyce Meyer once said that sometimes we should get out of the boat, but I feel we should get out of the boat every day. Life is like the ocean. Sometimes it is quiet, sometimes there are waves and sometimes there are storms and even hurricanes. Sometimes we sink because we fear the waves and the wind and sometimes, we sink in quiet waters because the world and our own carnal desires make us lose focus and we begin to make God a 911 God. We only call when we need Him.

Walking with God should not be a once in a while moment when we feel like it. Walking with God should be an all-time thing. In our good and in our bad and in our in-between times. In fact, it should be an every minute type of thing.

A few years ago, before we got divorced, I had an encounter with God, but I would say an unexpected one. You see my circumstances and emotional abuse at that time had driven me to fatigue and I faced severe financial problems over it all and the stress and lack of sleep made me make mistakes in my work. God stepped in and in a moment it all changed, but it had a ripple effect and my entire work environment changed in such a way that it was noted by my managers and commended on. You see when God changed my circumstances He changed my identity. He took a man who was broken and hurt, and He showed me that He is in it with me and that gave me more than confidence, it changed my heart. It changed my mind.

My battles at home were still there but the peace of God overtook all the lies and the abuse and the hurt and the pain. It changed my direction and I guess the enemy did not like that.

What I am trying to say is that God is always walking with us even if we do not walk with Him. I walked with Him in that time but it was more a casual walk and I guess a place of comfort walk. In that encounter that all changed because now I started to desire more and the direction of my life started to get in line with the purpose of my life.

When you step out of the boat today (out of bed) there is only one thing to consider, to remember and to apply. Keep your eyes on Jesus. He is the way, the truth and the life. He alone is the answer in all the types of oceans we walk into, and He alone can change your storms. Give it all to Him and trust His way, His will and His timing. He steps in when we the time is right and when He steps in, things change and sometimes radically. My dear friend, God is right there with you right now and He is listening. Tell Him all about it and hand it over. God says in Psalm 91:15, “He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honour him”.

This is a promise and just as God changed my circumstances and as He going to change them again, He will also change yours. Just have faith because “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God (Romans 10:17)”. In other words, read the Word of God and speak the Word of God. There is power in your words, so speak life over your circumstances.

I love you my friend. Have an awesome day.


Sunday, 21 June 2026

Today's thought - 21 June 2026 (Worship)

 


My dear friend, this scripture is definitely for me but also for you reading my blog. The Holy Spirit will reveal that to you. It says here in Ezekiel 30:3, “For the day is near,Even the day of the LORD is near; It will be a day of clouds, the time of the Gentiles”.

The end is near. The day of the Lord is near. The end of your battle is near.

The day of the Lord, the day of the return of our Lord Jesus is closer than we think and we know this for the times we live in and the things that are happening point towards the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

My message is short today. My dear friend, go to church and worship the Lord our God for the victory of your battle is at hand and it will soon come to pass. Worship God for your healing and for your pain and whatever it is that is a thorn in your flesh for He will help you and you will see His hand in your challenge. I believe this and I know this for I know what we ask Jesus to help us with and if we believe it, it shall be so.

Come with me today and let us worship and praise our amazing and wonderful Lord and God. It is Father’s Day and I will worship my Father for His grace and mercy and for working all things for good for my daughter. For I walk by faith and not by sight and I know it shall be well.

I honour all the fathers out there reading my blog and I pray that our Lord will bless you and your family and that you will see His grace unfold in your life and in your challenges. All things will work out for good for us just as God promises. Just keep trusting Him.

Have an awesome day, my friend.


Saturday, 20 June 2026

Today's thought - 20 June 2026 (Process)

 


What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? (Romans 8:31). Every season, every battle and every challenge is a process that is initiated whether it is something we did or something that happens to us. It remains a process and in it we will be in that fire where things happen, and we will have to deal with them as they come.

Now my verse is from Psalm 27, and I am just going to repeat it here for effect, “Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes, for false witnesses rise up against me, spouting malicious accusations. I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living (NIV)”.

Now we know that we know there is a process. The process God will determine how it happens for in the process there are things that need to happen and most of the time these things require faith. Remember it is impossible to please God without faith (Hebrews 11:6).

King Hezekiah was the 13th king of Judah, reigning from approximately 715 to 686 BC. He is celebrated in the Bible as one of the most faithful kings of the southern kingdom, renowned for his sweeping religious reforms, his deep reliance on prayer, and his miraculous deliverance from the Assyrian army.

Now this battle with the Assyrian army is where I want to place your focus. These guys were rough and tough and meaner than a junk yard dog. The poor Judah were terrified of this vast army that was about to destroy them and they were discouraged. Let’s dive in at 2 Chronicles 32 after the people raised their concerns and their uncertainty of what awaited them. This is King Hezekiah’s response:

Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or discouraged because of the king of Assyria and the vast army with him, for there is a greater power with us than with him. With him is only the arm of flesh, but with us is the LORD our God to help us and to fight our battles.” And the people gained confidence from what Hezekiah the king of Judah said.

Two things: One - He said that they (the enemy) rely on their own strength and on people, but they rely on God who will help them fight their battles. Two – After they heard his words (God’s Word) they were encouraged. They had confidence.

What does the Bible give us? It gives guidance, it gives direction, it gives God’s promises and it gives us confidence. The more time you spend in the Word, the more your confidence grows. The more time you spend in the Word, the better you get to know God and the more time you spend in the Word, the more real the armour of God becomes. The more you grow in your confidence the more you will trust and rely on God for the outcome and the victory. In other words more of Christ and less of me.

Because why do we need this?

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand (Ephesians 6).

My dear friend, the battles are real, and the enemy walks around like a lion ready to devour us, but we no longer live in the world. We live in the kingdom of heaven. We are God’s children and we live in His grace and in His strength and in His protection. That is why we rejoice even in our tribulations because Jesus said in John 16, “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world”.

Be of good cheer (take heart) in your trials, in your pain, in your struggles, in your divorce, in your court case, in your sickness, in your hurt, in your loss and in your brokenness for Jesus Christ's triumph over sin, suffering, and death means that no worldly struggle or challenge has the final say, ever. Plus, you will not be affected by the lies of the enemy, but you will stand in the truth of God’s Word and in your relationship with the Holy Spirit.

There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

Have an awesome day, my friend.

Today's thought - 19 June 2026 (In it with you)

 


I want to add on what we were talking about yesterday. We know that Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were thrown into the fire and God did not extinguish the fire. We know that when they came out, they did not even smell of fire. There are three important things we need to remember, and I think we need to make it part of our daily walk.

1) God did not stop the fire. So, sometimes we must go through the fire.

2) Three were thrown into the fire, but four walked in the fire. God will be with you through whatever you face. He is in it with you.

3) When they came out the fire it had no effect on them, but it affected the viewpoint of Nebuchadnezzar because he said, “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, servants of the Most High God, come out, and come here”. His entire view changed and that means that our fires (battles) will affect other even while we are going through them.

That is why our scripture is so important today and I know God is speaking to me just as much to you that you hear it and remember it - When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you.

We read in Isaiah 43:1, “But now, thus says the LORD, who created you, O Jacob, And He who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; You are Mine”.

Not only does He call you by your name, He declares that you are His. Jesus did not just go through the pain and the suffering and the cross. He defeated death, satan and sin. He took all your sin on Him, but He also stands daily and intercedes for you. The Bible says in Romans 8:34, “Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us”.

My dear friend I am trying to make a very important point here. Jesus will be in the fire with you. No weapon will prosper and the fire will not scorch you. He walks and carries you when you can’t go on and above all that He calls you His own and He stands at the right hand of God the Father and He prays for you. 

This is absolutely mind blowing. What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? (Romans 8).

My dear friend, I love you very much, but it is a drop in the ocean compared to the love of God. What He did and what He continuous to do every day. He is for you and you are His and this means that nothing and I say nothing can separate us from the love of God and nothing can take you from His hand. Be strong and courageous because He is already in the fight for you. Come and let us battle on our knees and let God fight the actual battle. Just as God is putting things in place in my court case and fighting for me, He is also fighting for you and preparing things for you. Be patient in the fire, that is why they walked around in the fire. They did not lie down and felt sorry for themselves, they walked around free giving glory to God and in the end the fire they were thrown in became the fire that changed their lives and the lives of other.

Have an awesome, awesome day.

Today's thought - 18 June 2026 (Faith)

 


I think God is busy teaching me something around faith. He keeps brining me back to Hebrews 11 and He seem to keep pointing me to the faith that is described by the writer through the lives of the people in the Bible. That is why He is saying to us this morning that we have been invited to live in something better that what those guys had and that is faith’s fullness.

Faith is believing in something before you have received it and I know my battles will increase and my attacks will get more. Believe me the enemy is using all his cards to keep me from living in my purpose and doing what I have been called to do.

I want to use Shadrach, Mesarch and Abednego as an example. We know they did not want to bow down to the statue and that Nebuchadnezzar asked his men to increase the furnace seven time more than usual. The bible says that the men who threw them in the furnace was consumed by the fire so hot it was. Once in the fire there was a fourth man with them in the fire walking around.

Now, when we face the fires of life (the attacks), the enemy will increase it more and more and even when it is increased God will intervene and our enemies will be destroyed (consumed) by God’s fire and in the midst of this fire (storm) we will rise and He (Jesus) will walk in it and through it with us.

My friend, Jesus said if you have faith the size of a mustard seed you can move a mountain and everything we ask in faith He will give us. I am reminded of this verse in Matthew 7, “If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!”.

If we know how to take care of our children, how much more will our father take care of us. Jesus on a more than one occasion said to the disciples that their faith is lacking. So, Jesus is saying to you and me today, “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?”.

My dear friend, God is saying, “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go” (Joshua 1:9).

Do not allow what you are facing and what you are going through to alter your direction or influence your faith. In fact, be more tenacious in your faith and trust God because He said, “Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this: He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn, your vindication like the noonday sun”.

I love you my friend, have an awesome day.

Today's thought - 17 June 2026 (Just do it)

 


A couple of years ago Nike came up with the slogan, “Just do it”. I loved it because I was an athlete in South Africa’s National Taekwondo team. I was light weight in our national team for almost ten years. I loved it. I loved the adrenaline before the match and I loved to compete. I won many fights, but I also lost many fights. I always taught my students that you can lose a fight like a winner or win a fight and actually lose it. It is the attitude that you compete with and how you respond to victory and to losing. I did not like losing, but I learned from it.

Hebrews 11:6 says, “And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him”.

The writer of Hebrews goes on here in Hebrews 11 and takes examples of people in the Bible and how they acted on faith and the result of this. Much like I have been doing the last few days as we dived into encounters with God. Today the Holy Spirit points me back to faith and how it is impossible to please God without faith.

Faith is a lot like the “Just do it” slogan of Nike. Faith is as we saw the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things unseen. Jesus walked in that same just do it faith when He ministered here on earth and it is the same concept that He taught when He said if you ask for it and you believe it you shall receive it. It is in this same context that He took five loaves of bread and two fishes and fed over five thousand people. It is by this very same faith He raised Lazarus from the dead and the same faith Peter used when he boldly preached the gospel and Paul when he was in prison. It is by this faith that Moses placed his staff in the red sea, and it is by this same faith we should walk each day.

We looked at encounters and the importance of walking in a close relationship with the Holy Spirit. Now the Holy Spirit is saying that it does not stop there. Now we walk by faith and not by sight. It is this just do it mentality that will help us to grow in our faith and to trust in the Lord. It is by boldly stepping out into the world and walking different, acting differently, speaking differently, feeling different and loving people differently.

It is by our full and complete surrender to the Holy Spirit and seeking Him all the time and not just for a few minutes in the morning. When my world shakes and I start to feel the pressures of this world, I turn to Him. Hebrews 12:3 (TPT) says, “So consider carefully how Jesus faced such intense opposition from sinners who opposed their own souls, so that you won’t become worn down and cave in under life’s pressures”.

This is profound for you and me as we face life’s pressures. Through Jesus Christ who gives us enough strength to overcome all, we will be more than conquerors, and we will succeed even when the storm overwhelms us.

My dear friend, I love you very much and I say this again and I want you to hear it and believe it. He who is in us, is far greater than he who is in this world and we will overcome all our battles and the Lord is preparing a table while our enemies are watching. A table of victory not a table of loss. A table of joy and not a table of sorrow. A table of abundance and not a table of pain and sorrow. A table that is full and a cup that overflows. Nothing can separate us from the love of God, and all things will work out for good. That is a Biblical promise. Just do it, just have faith.

Have an awesome day, my friend.

Today's thought - 16 June 2026 (Moses)

 


Moses was the man that God spoke to. He was raised in Pharoah’s court and then decided to become the one who stepped in for the oppression of his people and killed a man. He then ran away and hid in the wilderness. His encounter was on the mountain with the burning bush. Now I do not know if burning bushes was common in that area, but this one stood out because it did not consume the bush but remained burning and once Moses came close God spoke. Moses needed to step into God’s presence or rather his prayer closet. I like that comparison. Your prayer time with God is your burning bush.

A few things to consider. He did not willingly accept his calling, no he had a few excuses. First Moses said, “Who am I” and this is not a bad thing for God does not call the qualified, he qualifies the called. It also points to humility and thus will make him more dependant on God for that is where we all should be. What did God say and you have to love this, “I will certainly be with you”. If you have been reading with us for some time you will know that this is something God clearly says to us all. He is with you and He will never leave you nor forsake you.

Secondly Moses said to God, “Indeed, when I come to the children of Israel and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they say to me, ‘What is His name?’ what shall I say to them?”. He needed more confirmation. Do we do the same thing, yes, we do. God tells us something and we say yes and we wait. God says it again and we say yes and we wait. We take up a I need proof over my proof mentality and fear that we are not hearing correct because we do not like to step out of our comfort zones.

Thirdly then Moses answered and said, “But suppose they will not believe me or listen to my voice; suppose they say, The LORD has not appeared to you”. Then God gave him confirmation through signs. Sometimes God speaks through someone else confirming His plan for us.

And the fourth excuse then Moses said to the LORD, “O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither before nor since You have spoken to Your servant; but I am slow of speech and slow of tongue.”

I love God’s answer here: So the LORD said to him, “Who has made man’s mouth? Or who makes the mute, the deaf, the seeing, or the blind? Have not I, the LORD? Now therefore, go, and I will be with your mouth and teach you what you shall say”.

So, here God confirms He is God and He will be with you and through the Holy Spirit, He will give you the right words and teach you the right things to say. Just as He did for Peter when thousands of people gave their lives to Jesus. Even then Moses still asked God to send another and it angered God for your calling is not someone else’s calling. What God puts on your heart you cannot delegate. What God entrust on you is for you and you alone. He will be with you, and He will carry you through it. He will give you wisdom and guidance and He will sustain you.

Even the trials and the tribulations that come into your life, even then God will be with you, and He will guide you and protect you.

Just trust Him.

Here is a few key attributes of Moses to ponder on:

Humility: Despite his royal upbringing in Egypt and his status as a chosen prophet, Moses is described as exceptionally humble and meek, often deferring to God's will rather than exalting himself.

Prayer and Intercession: He maintained a highly intimate relationship with God, frequently acting as an urgent intercessor to plead for the salvation and forgiveness of the rebellious Israelites.

Obedience and Faith: Though he initially doubted his own abilities (such as having speech insecurities), he developed a fierce, enduring faith that empowered him to refuse the fleeting pleasures of Egypt.

Visionary Leadership: He successfully managed a chaotic, shifting population for forty years in the wilderness. He eventually mastered the art of delegating tasks and empowering other leaders.

Passionate Stewardship: His deep care for the people he led was paired with a passionate—and sometimes impulsive—sense of justice, famously shown when he broke the stone tablets in response to idol worship.

Have an awesome day, my friend.

Today's thought - 15 June 2026 (Paul)

 


So, we looked at Jacob, let’s have a quick look at Paul. Paul’s encounter as we know was on the road to Damascus. What is interesting is what he says after Jesus said to him, why are you persecuting me. The Bible says in Acts 9:

Then he fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?” And he said, “Who are You, Lord?” Then the Lord said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. It is hard for you to kick against the goads (It means that resisting divine direction or fighting an inevitable truth only leads to self-inflicted pain).” So he, trembling and astonished, said, “Lord, what do You want me to do?” Then the Lord said to him, “Arise and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do".

Ok so here is what we need to see here. Paul, after his encounter, simply said, “Lord, what do You want me to do?”. His first words were humbly submitting to the Lord and giving his life for the Lord. I think in essence his life was dedicated to scripture and to God although he did not see the truth.

Now many Christians are Christians by definition and they go to church and they quote scripture and they will say let me pray for you, yet they still miss the truth. To my opinion living a life for Jesus is literally living the way of Jesus Christ. I think we like to sugar coat the Bible and we tend to live it half dedicated. I used to smoke when I was younger. Younger meaning twenty odd years ago and today the smell of smoke really annoys me. When I look at my life living it as a mediocre or lukewarm Christian it seems to annoy me also. Maybe I am too hard on myself, but I really despise it when I fail or I make a mistake and I have to get to my knees and beg for God’s forgiveness. I always say that I do not want to sound like a broken record player and that God should give me the strength to withstand the things I struggle with or remove it from my life. I think it boils down to the fear of the Lord. The respect we should have and live out for who He is. So, yes, I do not like it very much.

Back to Paul. So, why is Paul’s encounter so important to me. Well simply how it altered his life and his direction. How he persistently preached the gospel in hostile environments and despite pain or hurt or loss, he just pressed on and continued to take the gospel of Jesus Christ into the world. His determination in adverse circumstances is inspiring and amazing. He praised and worshipped in jail, even when he was tortured or beaten, he rejoiced and he lived a life contempt even when he had nothing to eat. His entire way of life and his commitment to the Lord is unbelievable and honestly, I feel that I can’t even stand in his shadow let alone do what he did, yet he writes in 1 Corinthians 10:13, “No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it”.

Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.

My dear friend. Paul’s encounter should inspire us to take up our cross and to carry the gospel into our world, our workplace, our homes, our families, our challenges and to all the people we meet each day. Time is short and the coming of our Lord is getting closer. Do not miss the opportunity to share the gospel and to win the lost at any cost. Let’s plunder hell and populate heaven.

Have an awesome day.

Today's thought - 14 June 2026 (Jacob)

 


It is Sunday and I hope you went to church or you are getting ready to go. I want to quickly look at Jacob as we continue to talk about encounters. We know Jacob had an encounter with God and he only realized this at the end of his wrestle with the Lord. The Bible says in Genesis 32 - So Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him till daybreak. When the man saw that he could not overpower him, he touched the socket of Jacob’s hip so that his hip was wrenched as he wrestled with the man. Then the man said, “Let me go, for it is daybreak.” But Jacob replied, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.” The man asked him, “What is your name?” “Jacob,” he answered. Then the man said, “Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with humans and have overcome.” Jacob said, “Please tell me your name.” But he replied, “Why do you ask my name?” Then he blessed him there.

Ok I want you to see three things and I will elaborate on them.

1). So, Jacob was left alone.

2). When the divine opponent realizes He cannot easily overpower Jacob, He touches Jacob’s hip socket, instantly dislocating it. In his physical vulnerability, Jacob shifts his strategy - he stops fighting to win and instead desperately clings to his opponent, demanding a blessing.

3). Jacob’s name changed and he received a blessing. Thus, naming the place Peniel (meaning "face of God") because he survived an encounter with God face-to-face.

Now, consider this. He was alone, now there is a difference between being alone and being lonely. The latter most times gets you into trouble. So, you could say he was in his prayer closet or his place of prayer or meditation. Now his encounter with the Lord (his wrestle match) left him with a limp. A thorn in his side, a reminder of his dependence on God. Then he was blessed in this encounter and the first cause of this is reconciling with his brother Esau and reestablishing their relationship. Now hear me out I am trying to make you see something. When Moses had his encounter with God on the mountain with the burning bush he asked God, who can I say send me. In Exodus 3 - God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: I AM has sent me to you”. God also said to Moses, “Say to the Israelites, The LORD, the God of your fathers - the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob - has sent me to you. This is my name forever, the name you shall call me from generation to generation”.

He says the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob, not the God of Israel. He says the God of Jacob and this means no matter what you have done or what you carry or guilt for the mistakes you have made, God sees you for you will become and not who you were. He sees the man/woman He saw when He created you and not the one who made mistakes. This is profound and I love it. My dear friend, an encounter with God will transform you and you will never be the same (walking with a limb) and the fire that it ignites will touch the world around you, because the fire of God cannot be contained, kept for yourself nor remain hidden. It is the fire of God, and it will leave your world upside down. So, seek the Kingdom of God above all else. Above all things and you will encounter God in a way that will transform you forever.

Have an awesome day, my friend.


Saturday, 13 June 2026

Today's thought - 13 June 2026 (Heart)

 


I want to write to you about heart. First, I must apologize for not writing yesterday but honestly it was just one of those days where the attacks on me started early. I forget sometimes that these are the days I should actually write but from early on my day was a mess and finally when I got home, we received the new “Urgent Application” from my ex-wife that she and her new law team dished up. There is a section with the so-called confessions from my daughter and considering that she is only four years old and these statements are so the same that any person can see it was taught through manipulation. So, you can imagine I was just upset and it just broke me to think someone can do this to a little girl and then the whole law process that seems way to time consuming. Yes, I was upset and yes, my day ended not so great. So, I am sorry for neglecting you.

Now back to business. We are looking at encounters, and I have written to you about Jacob and Paul, and we briefly looked at their encounters and the outcome. This brings me back to the actual encounter and I have written to you that it is what drives me and it is the fire that burns in me sending me into the streets and to minister to those guys sleeping on the cold sidewalks of Pretoria.

Encounters can be brought on by God, but we can also seek encounters with the Holy Spirit, and many times those occur in our Church Services when we worship but with me it happens also in the mornings in my prayer time (closet time). Why does it happen? Simply because I desire more. I want more. I seek more. I seek first the Kingdom of heaven and its righteousness. I seek and desire more of God and when I am humble and broken before my Lord especially today when I am distressed about my little girl and all that is happening there. Then God moves and I feel the Holy Spirit’s presence so clearly and to be honest I am a bit addicted to His presence and these encounters.

There are three vital things here. One and I feel almost the most important one and that is heart. Your heart. I always ask the Lord to create in me a pure and clean heart, because I do not want to enter in my Father’s presence if my heart is not right and we know God sees your heart. Then your heart must seek and desire God. In fact, your whole heart must seek God placing Him first in all the areas of your life. Second would be simply what Jesus said and that is that in this world you will have many trials and tribulations. It is what it is, the enemy attacks what is a problem for him and you on fire for God is a problem for satan. Third and last is sin and temptation. Beware to fall back into your old ways or into temptation or sin for that hinders your progress and takes away your anointing plus it griefs the Holy Spirit and God does not like that.

Why am I writing this. It has a really basic reason that comes from a day like yesterday. If it was not for my close walk with the Holy Spirit, this whole court case/criminal case would have either destroyed me or drove me into hate and anger and who knows what the result of that would have been. Instead of anger and hate and cursing and depression I rejoice in my infirmities (any physical, emotional, or spiritual limitations, weaknesses, or frailties) for when I am weak, I am strong. For when I do not know how to handle this or react or even survive it, I am strengthened and guided by a very loving and kind Holy Spirit. It is because when I am seeking Him, He answers like this in Psalm 91:3 (TPT) - He will rescue you from every hidden trap of the enemy, and he will protect you from false accusation and any deadly curse. 

My dear friend, again I emphasise the importance of spending time in the Word and in prayer every day of your life. It is unbelievable what happens when we draw nearer to God.

Have an awesome, awesome day.


Thursday, 11 June 2026

Today's thought - 11 June 2026 (Encounter)


My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me, so far from my cries of anguish? (Psalm 22:1 NIV).

Have you ever felt like that? Have you ever felt that God has abandoned you and left you to fight on your own? The same David that writes this in Psalm 22 writes in Psalm 27:10 “When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take care of me”.

What changed? One moment he is in anguish and lost and the next one he is confident and strong. David as we know always desired God and he sought after God’s guidance. In an instant God can turn your life around. Jacob (meaning supplanter or heel-grabber) changed to Israel (meaning God perseveres) after an encounter with our Lord after which the twelfth tribes of Israel were born. Saul on his way to Damascus had an encounter with Jesus and he changed from a murderer who went after Christ followers to Paul who was on fire for the Gospel of Jesus to the extend that he wrote two thirds of the New Testament.

Now we looked at trust and we looked at faith. Let’s look at burdens. Peter stepped out of that boat boldly walking on water (for we walk by faith) towards Jesus. The minute his gaze shifted to the waves and the storm he began to sink. What did he do? He cried out to the Lord. Jesus grabbed him by the arm and pulled him up. Sometimes we need that type of encounter where we stop looking at the problem and turn our gaze away from the world towards Jesus so that He can take us by the arm and pull us up.

My verse is “For my yoke is easy and my burden is light”. This invitation from Jesus offers profound spiritual relief to those who are exhausted. It promises that following Him replaces the crushing weight of religious legalism and life's anxieties with a manageable, partnership-based peace. Now what does that mean?

It means that we all carry heavy physical, emotional or spiritual burdens and when we come to Him when we are exhausted by the pressures of life, anxiety, or the efforts of trying to make it through each day. Paying the bills, raising good kids, work, attacks, people and the list goes on.

Jesus invites us to take up His yoke and His teachings. His teachings are love, grace and a relationship and by following Him we step into a partnership where we do not carry these burdens alone anymore. He carries them with us (He makes it light).

Paul writes in 2 Corinthians 12, “But he said to me, My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong”.

So, on our own we will not succeed but relying on the Lord and letting Him carry our burdens with us we will be stronger. It is in this encounter that things shift, and we change from a worldly perspective to a God perspective. Form being lost and broken too victorious and stronger. From feeling abandoned to praise and worship. No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us (Romans 8:37).

My dear friend, come with me as we give it all to Him in faith and trust and let Jesus pull us from the storm into His marvellous light. You are more than a conqueror, you are a child of God and He will never ever ever leave you. Let Him carry your burden with you and resist the enemy’s lies. Trust Him and you will see your storms fade and the doors open, but you need to step into your prayer closet (room) and call Him and give it to Him. He is right there, do it now. His grace is enough and He will step in when you call and His peace will overflow in you.

Have an awesome day, I love you my friend.
