I just read a t-shirt with a statement about hell on it, and it got me thinking... It's Friday, late afternoon, I'm sitting at "The Fly", an airport cafe in Melbourne. I'm surrounded by men and women, from all over the world, drinking beer after beer, chatting on their phones, chatting to their friends, starring … Continue reading Will your neighbour go to hell?!?
Stories Across the Seas: S.E. Asia
It was a clear day, as clear as the days get in a city fighting incredible levels of pollution. The streets were teeming with people, making the most of the tail end of the local religious holiday. I was talking with my friend about how I longed to see God's Kingdom come more and more … Continue reading Stories Across the Seas: S.E. Asia
Stories Across the Seas: Singapore
Everybody longs for home, for a place where they belong and where they are fully alive. Most picture safety and comfort when they think of home, and they usually have pictures of a favourite chair in their living room, maybe a fireplace, or a kitchen table. They almost always also think of family. When I … Continue reading Stories Across the Seas: Singapore
A Word for Australia- Supernatural and Natural Fires, Revival is Coming.
It was about this time last year that I was returning from Northern California, where I attended Bethel’s prophetic conference, when I felt the Lord speak to me for Australia during my flight home. I shared this word with many Australian church leaders at an event at Margaret Court Arena on March the 2nd 2017, … Continue reading A Word for Australia- Supernatural and Natural Fires, Revival is Coming.
Thoughts on Striving and Significance in the light of Billy Graham’s Funeral.
A few nights ago, I had a dream. In it, I saw myself striving. Striving to make it all work. Striving to pull off ministry, life, significance, validity. In my dream I saw scene after scene of myself on a TV screen, striving, worrying, trying. You see, the other day, just hours before the death … Continue reading Thoughts on Striving and Significance in the light of Billy Graham’s Funeral.
Why I believe in Stadium Evangelism like it’s 1959.
In 1959, Evangelist Billy Graham came to Melbourne, Australia, and set the unbroken record for the largest crowd at Melbourne's biggest outdoor stadium, the Melbourne Cricket Ground. His event attracted over 130,000 people! Last night, I read one of my city's most read newspapers, as they reported on Billy Graham's passing, and this momentous event. … Continue reading Why I believe in Stadium Evangelism like it’s 1959.
A Recipe for Revival.
I've been thinking a lot lately about "revival". It's a buzz word for Christians these days, many are talking about how the church needs another "revival", about how we are having a "revival", or about how we are on the cusp of another one. But what is revival, what is needed to have it, and … Continue reading A Recipe for Revival.
2018- The Year of Living Dangerously / “All In.”
It's 9:52 Wednesday January 10, 2018. After a massive 3 weeks of Youth camps, I should be asleep ...but I can't sleep. I am wide awake and God is stirring me to write, and so write I will. I feel the Lord is calling me to release a word over many across the nations. I … Continue reading 2018- The Year of Living Dangerously / “All In.”
Were they Real Angels that showed up at Christmas?
The Bible tells a story in the gospels, of angels appearing to shepherds and telling them about Jesus' birth. But were the angels real, or had the shepherds a little over tired and delirious after a long day herding sheep? I believe the angels were real. Really there, really big, and I dare suggest, really … Continue reading Were they Real Angels that showed up at Christmas?
Why do Some People get Healed and Not Others?
This is a big one. Theologically, emotionally, big. Healing is a "buzz word" for many Christians. Few things are as exciting as watching God supernaturally heal someone! In the same vein, few things as confusing or frustrating as the times when God doesn't heal someone. I get it.
