Where is the prophet of the LORD?
The Lord has highlighted 1 Kings 22 many times over the years. It is a powerful narrative that shows the desperate need for the true word of the Lord regardless of consequences. Today Australia needs the prophetic voice more than ever!
King Jehoshaphat (יְהוֹשָׁפָט meaning ‘Jehovah has judged’; son of king Asa and himself king of Judah for 25 years; one of the best, most pious, and prosperous kings of Judah) visits the King of Israel (Ahab אַחְאָב a wicked king) and although we know the King of Israel had 400 ‘prophets’ (1 Kings 22:6) Jehoshaphat asks is there a prophet of the Lord! In other words the 400 prophets that the King of Israel had gathered were useless as they were simply a bunch of ‘yes men’.
Jehoshaphat wanted a true man of God to speak! Continue reading “Where is the prophet of the LORD?”
Letting the Lord into your heart on the journey
Genesis 24:62 Now Isaac came from the way of Beer Lahai Roi, for he dwelt in the South.
In hebrew בְּאֵר לַחַי רֹאִי Bĕ’er la-Chay Ro’iy is the
“well of the Living One seeing me” so let’s break down the words and understand the meaning of the place name. Names have incredible meaning in scripture and we often overlook searching into names to find nuggets of truth. Continue reading “Letting the Lord into your heart on the journey”
Thoughts and prayers on Anzac Day 25th April
It is well known that most who served in the Anzac forces were believers in our Lord Jesus. Many carried bibles. I share three stories here. First, Harry Bell who lied about his age to join the Australian Light Horse and gave his life at the Charge on Be’er Sheva. Secondly, how both Australia and New Zealand fought to win the battle. Thirdly, Fighting Mac who was a chaplain for the Anzac’s.

Daughter, your faith has made you well…
The account of the woman with the issue of blood is in all three synoptic Gospels, these short passages carry a powerful message. See: Matthew 9:20-22, Mark 5:25-34, and Luke 8:43-48. This short account is one of the greatest life changing miracles Yeshua performed on Earth.
The yoke will be destroyed because of the fatness
Often in Charismatic and Pentecostals churches we often hear the saying that “the anointing breaks the yoke”, and while this is completely correct, it is based on a mis-translation of the Bible from Isaiah 10:27 . What the original Hebrew text says is much much more powerful!
Does the anointing break the yoke?
Absolutely YES! Continue reading “The yoke will be destroyed because of the fatness”
Faith mocks its enemies with a song
Introduction
There is much spiritual warfare in this season. This is evident by assassination attempts, Israel fighting for its survival, fraudulent elections, abhorrent laws being put forward by godless politicians (late term abortion, babies surviving abortions left to die, euthanasia, gender issues, legalising prostitution etc.). We need to be able to fight, not flesh and blood, but in the heavenlies.
Habakkuk 3 – A Hymn of Faith
Let us look at Habakkuk 3 – a passage entitled ‘A Hymn of Faith’ and in particular v19. Verses 17 and 18 are well known and a great statement of faith. Continue reading “Faith mocks its enemies with a song”
The Father’s Blessing – A blessing for all of your children
I attended the Dads for Kids (https://dads4kids.org.au/) Men’s Leadership Summit last weekend (9-11 August 2024) and had the privilege of giving the Father’s Blessing to all who were there. It was a wonderful time, many lives impacted as a bunch of blokes had a great time while talking through major issues facing us all. It was a life changing weekend that I recommend to all men. Thanks Warwick and Nathaniel Marsh, and the whole team for an amazing weekend. Continue reading “The Father’s Blessing – A blessing for all of your children”
God is sovereign over the Nations
These are helpful scriptures when praying for the nations. It is time for the Ekklesia to arise and shine.
Genesis 12:3 – “I will bless those who bless you,
And I will curse him who curses you;
And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.””
Genesis 18:18 – “Abraham will surely become a great and powerful nation, and all nations on earth will be blessed through him.”
Genesis 22:18 – “..and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed me.” Continue reading “God is sovereign over the Nations”
Palestinians are causing their own suffering, not Israel. A discussion about the Gaza conflict
Introduction
Understanding the Gaza Conflict means acknowledging an unpopular truth: Palestinians are responsible for everything that is happening to them.
Up front I am a Zionist! To some this maybe a controversial statement for a Christian leader to make. Let’s consider what it means: A Zionist is simply someone who supports the idea of a Jewish nationalist movement that has as its goal the creation and support of a Jewish national state in the ancient traditional homeland of the Jews (Hebrew: Eretz Yisraʾel, “the Land of Israel”).
It is time to get the facts regarding the root of the Israel Gaza conflict. So here is a short summary that hopefully will clear up some misconceptions.
Palestinians are still whining about a war they lost 75+ years ago (1948/1949) and are unable to move on. Imagine if Germany would still bombard Russia and Poland daily out of spite for losing WWII. Every nation moved on from losing wars, even Egypt and Jordan, but not Palestinians. Continue reading “Palestinians are causing their own suffering, not Israel. A discussion about the Gaza conflict”
A word for transition from 2022 to 2023 and beyond
This morning while in prayer I was reminded again of 2 Chronicles 20 and felt to look at again verses 22 and 23 which has been thematic in prayer this year on Canberra Declaration and with other prayer networks.
We are coming to a time of transition into a greater authority and visible victory. We will see people and situations set free by the hand of the Lord. We will see the Lord in His Glory.

The Purpose of the Mystery revealed in Ephesians 3
[This article will be edited as it is a work in progress]
Yesterday I had a very interesting discussion with Papa Gideon Chiu regarding Ephesians 3, especially Ephesians 3:9-11. These are my thoughts on this passage and contextual verses.
Ephesians 3:8 To me, who am less than the least of all the saints, this grace was given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ, [Paul establishes his credentials, recognising his past, the saving grace of God, and his call to proclaim the good news] Continue reading “The Purpose of the Mystery revealed in Ephesians 3”
Going forward in to battle and victory!
I sense it is a time of both transition and also overcoming obstacles and enemies; and this is a word for this season; three things we need to go forward…
1. Agenda – are we in the Lord’s plans or our own?
Joshua is confronted by the Lord and comes to see that he needs be on the Lord’s side, i.e. it is not whether God is on our side but that we are on God’s side of things.
It is His agenda not ours that matters.
Joshua then worshiped on holy ground which is where we come to hear the Lord’s agenda on issues.
The Lord is calling us into deeper relationship, worship, and holiness.; from this place we have divine alignment for divine assignment.
We cannot hold on to our own agenda and goals, we must hear the Lord in all things and go with His plan, calling, and His purposes. Continue reading “Going forward in to battle and victory!”
Nazi roots of the phrase ‘pure blood’ – a correction for some
Introduction
Did you know the term ‘pure blood’ is completely demonic?
It comes directly from the J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter witchcraft books and movies.
The phrase was picked up by some extreme anti-vaxxers and has gone viral. Sadly Christians are using this phrase without grace or humility or concern for the Body of Christ.

Why sacrifice?
Introduction
The question of why we sacrifice is one that confronts Christians as we go forward with the Lord. It is often difficult to see why sacrifice is needed, or even the benefit of the sacrifices we make.
We see the example Jesus set in Hebrews 12:2 which explains why He suffered and died for us. This is the most awesome example of pure sacrifice of a innocent, pure, and holy person.
Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Continue reading “Why sacrifice?”
Hosanna – Palm Sunday – Don’t Fear the Valley
On what we now know as Palm Sunday, Jesus entered Jerusalem on a young colt from Bethany to the temple. This account is given in Matthew 21:1-11 and Luke 19:28-44 and the scripture is at the end of this item.
His Journey on that day was an incredible prophetic statement about everything that was about to transpire. Let’s look at the journey Jesus took on that day. Continue reading “Hosanna – Palm Sunday – Don’t Fear the Valley”
