DAY TWO – What Transition Feels Like

Almost every prophet I know, from the UK, Europe, Africa, the USA and Australasia is saying we are entering a new era. Many were prophesying it before 2020 (See my book “500” written in 2017), but the quiet murmurs have turned to trumpet blasts in the last 3 years. So, headline news: We are entering…

DAY ONE – You Are Riding The Turbulent Waters Where Two Eras Meet!

I used to live in Gibraltar, where Africa and Europe almost meet, and the Mediterranean Sea collides with the Atlantic Ocean, creating a bubbling cauldron of tumultuous waters, accompanied with heavy winds and busy, condensed shipping lanes. It’s called “The Straits of Gibraltar”, and it’s famously bumpy! I believe we are in a similar place…

The Holy Spirit Is Our Greatest Worship Leader

The best a leader can ever be in the Kingdom of Heaven is the first follower. Ultimately, we are all followers of the Holy Spirit. No-one can, and no-one should, minister in any way other than under the unction of the Holy Spirit. He comes to clothe us in power, to give us wisdom and…

Pitching Tents Of Glory

Your Life Flows from Your Heart “Guard Your heart, for out of it come the issues of life” Proverbs 4:23 All the issues of your life flow from your heart. It is the spring from which all your attitudes, actions and desires stem. You are not a result of your circumstance, and neither are you…

When Our Worship, Fails To Worship = Ichabod!

To be in God’s presence is wonderful! It is the atmosphere of heaven, the very reality of God among us. I don’t want to merely sing about him, or to reverence him with my songs. I want to know him experientially. To sense him with me and in me and around me. Of course, God…

The 8 Greatest Enemies Of Our Worship

Worship and praise, prayer and spiritual warfare are all interconnected. To split them apart is to become too scientific in your approach in my opinion. Somehow, as we follow God individually and corporately, listening to God, being filled with the Holy Spirit, praying, reflecting, singing or bowing – somehow in all the glory of that…

Don’t let the devil mess with your moment!

IT’S A PIVOTAL TIME and the enemy wants to mess up your moment. GUARD YOUR HEART from offence. Don’t align with demons in spreading fear, woe, negativity, rebellion against leadership, discouragement, defeat, or encouraging others to break away from God’s people. THE DEVIL is doing all he can to turn you from the path towards…

How To Worship In The Spirit – Part 3

We have seen through the second section of this book that a worshipper must be passionate about God. We have learnt that the tongue of a worshipper moves mountains. We have seen that a true worshipper will rise above the lethargic influences of the flesh, to worship by the leading and in-filling of the Spirit…

Time To Wake Up!

After several remarkable visions of God’s glory in 1996 I became fascinated with the verses and stories of the fulness of God through the pages of the Bible and in Church history. Stories of the times God seemed to leap from the hidden spiritual realms into the obvious, tangible realms where us humans more easily…

God’s Word For 2023

You don’t have to be very prophetic to realise that 2023 is going to continue in the theme of disruption, shakings, pivotal changes and new alignments, as we wrestle our way into a new era with God.  With that in mind I would say making Psalm 23 the “go to” chapter may just help us…

How To Worship In The Spirit – Part 2

“It is we…who worship by the Spirit of God, who glory in Christ Jesus, and who put no confidence in the flesh” Philippians 3:3 This leads us onto the next interpretation of the vital verse from John 4 that tells us we should “worship in spirit”. Not only do we worship led by our spirits…

How To Worship In The Spirit – Part 1

“Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshippers the Father seeks. God is spirit, and his worshippers must worship him in spirit and truth” John 4:23-24 One of the primary factors to being a true…

Recapturing Your Zeal

Zeal is an overwhelming force. Psalm 22 states that “God is enthroned on the praises of Israel”. The word “praise” here doesn’t just mean singing a few nice songs, or thinking quietly about God. No, the word means “high” praise. Praise that is fervent, loud, passionate. God is not enthroned in any old worship. He…

Your Mouth Matters!

The first ingredient in the blueprint of a powerful worshipper is found in understanding the very make up of God himself, for we are made in his image. “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him” Genesis 1:27 Man has been created in the image of God…

The False Worshippers Of The True God!

“…true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshippers the Father seeks.” John 4:23 God is looking for true worshippers. That implies that there must be false worshippers. People that worship the same God, the same Jesus, but their worship is false. They are not the kind…

How To Change A Worship Culture

Perhaps you are now thoroughly frustrated with worship as I have been! Perhaps many of the things I have shared in these first few chapters have rung true in your own heart. Perhaps, like many of those who attend my seminars, you would like to say “I’ve thought that for years. It’s nice to hear…

The Eight Great Myths Of Worship

Three signs in the previous chapters marked my initial journey in re-designing my own church worship for God’s presence. In subsequent years I have realised there were many other mis-conceptions, myths and fallacies in my thinking that affected my worship ministry. Subtly they may infect all our thinking, dulling God’s blueprint for hosting his presence…

When Worship Ministries Cause More Harm Than Good?!

In 1993 I was a worship leader and elder at a church of a hundred or so people in East Yorkshire. Seeing the signs of weakness mentioned in the previous chapter, my Minister and I discussed at length possible solutions. My response was simple, if a little radical. I believed the solution for us lay…
