It is a gift. A priceless gift. To be entrusted with a human life it is the greatest privilege. To be able to point that life to his/hers Creator it’s the ultimate privilege. Yes the physical need...
In love with autumn sunsets and sunrises..perfection. All we need to do is look up. It’s free. And it floods the heart with WONDER. God is indeed the greatest painter. Red, brown, yellow, orange - ...
When God calls you to something you will just know it. He will tell you. It might seam a little idea or an unusual thing. But don’t forget He might call you to plant a seed. That He will grow it i...

The most powerful prayer one can pray is: Lord, help me.

One thing I’ve learned over the years no matter how hard and painful this can be is - do not expect from people to give you something that they don’t have. If you are nice to people and an encourag...
If we ask God only for things that humans beings can do, it’s an offence to the Creator of Heaven and Earth. He cannot wait for us to ask Him for THE IMPOSSIBLE. Those things we can barely imagine ...

The Lord has been confirming more and more in my heart He will bring a great revival in Eastern Europe in the years to come and it will start in Ukraine!!! But the price the enemy is making this la...
Every day we ask for more of this or more of that. There is always something that our human nature wants. If I only had this or if I only had that. What about if every day we whisper to the Lord- ...
If there is anything that moves the hand of God, that is FAITH. Ignite your faith today, believe He can do what no one else can do. Take the limits of God. It’s so easy to fall into human reasoning...
The day we found out we are expecting a son, I was overwhelmed with joy and delight knowing God has gifted us a SON that has been prepared with so much care for us. I kind of felt it since the beg...
I felt the Lord saying this morning as I was on the bus “remember the access you have to my power throughout the day, during your daily routine”
We are just tiny, frail shells on a sea shore. So easily broken. May God start sending His waves of love and light on us in abundance. So that, we can be filled with His presence in such a way, tha...
You might be in a season of darkness. Of nothingness. Of not knowing. Of discouragement. Of confusion. Now this is the dark ground, where God plants his seed. His promise. His miracle. It’s a secr...
After a season of much stretching, be encouraged, a season of launching will follow.
God can do more with our weakness and brokenness, than with our altogetherness.
There is only one source of true peace. Not the much “Christmassy” busyness. Or the glitter. The shopping. The Christmas shows. The millions of activities. But seeking Him. He is in the tiniest t...
One of my best friends that I love so much, has this beauty filter on her phone. Every time we meet and we want to take a photo together, I ask her - do you still have that beauty filter on your ph...
The best birthday gifts for children are our prayers, our time and our undivided attention, wrapped up in love.
You are loved. You are prescious. You are beautiful. You are world changers. You are bringing up world changers. You are enough. You are full of extraordinary ideas. You are extremely hard working....
God will do extraordinary things that no eye has seen before through those who are totally dependent on Him. Not the cleverest, not the most influential, not the most gifted, but those who are comp...
The easy thing is to worry. To strive, to struggle. To take things in one’s hand. But the Lord is whispering to LET GO. All this life is an ongoing training of LETTING GO and grabbing God’s warm ki...
Sometimes the best thing we can do for someone is to listen to them. Nothing else, listen.The world we live in it’s a world where everyone talks and has an opinion about everything but sometimes al...
Faith is like a window. A house with small windows won’t have much light in. A house with big windows will be flooded with light. Faith operates on the same principle. The bigger the windows of our...
One of the things the Lord taught me throughout the years was to spend quiet time with Him. How can we hear His voice when we are surrounded by so many voices? How can we find out His will if we do...
God can open doors that no one else can shut. When He opens a door it’s powerful, it’s extraordinary and it’s unexpected. He has the key to every door in our lives. He will shut the doors that need...
We cannot even imagine how much God loves us. His love is more real than anything around us. The closer example of His love that I can think of, is the love of a parent towards his child.
When someone you love suffers for something they are innocent of it’s very difficult to witness. All you want to do is shout out the truth and go out there and make justice and use your boxing skil...
It is not our responsibility to keep everyone happy. I’ve been guilty of trying this over the years. But I’ve learned the lesson. Some people no matter how much you do for them, will never be happy...
When we put work before family, God will not send His blessing. When we put family before work, God will send His blessing. When we put God first before everything, God will send His double blessing.
When you love someone very much you just want to be with them. You want their full attention. You don’t want them to entertain you, or do things to impress you. You just want them. What a year it ...
The way God sees you. Yes you. The way people see us is very different from the way God sees us. People will analyse our clothing, looks, behaviour, what we say, so on. Now that is natural because...
Some people have no walls. Some people have some smaller walls. Some people have some very tall walls. The last category is the hardest. Only God through His mighty power can break those walls. The...

As Easter approaches the enemy is doing overtime work in trying to get us distracted and forget the cross, but you know what this is the best time to get our gaze on the cross of Jesus, on that blo...
If we are asking God, only for things that one can achieve through human ability and strength; things that other people can do for them through intelligence, physical power, medical expertise, poli...
God has been speaking so much lately about favour. I can say one thing about my life. I am where I am today, I am who I am today, I have what I have today purely because of the FAVOUR OF GOD on my ...
The only thing that matters on one person’s life is the anointing on their life. Not their cleverness, or the size of their talent, or the good looking, or the financial wealth but the PURE anointi...
God purposely allows us to have weaknesses, struggles and imperfections throughout our lives, so that we remain dependent on His strength, stability and perfection. It also determines other people ...
Man can only see what is on the outside of someone. Only God can see what is inside that person’s heart.
Being a mother is just wonderful. It’s the greatest gift from God to the woman. Never in my life I thought I will find so much joy and fulfilment in being a mother.
Prologue
The way to know what are the most important things (priorities) in our lives, is to look at the amount of time/energy we invest in those things/activities. We are stepping into a season in which Go...
In the same way that we will never be able to understand, from a human perspective, the agony Jesus went through at the cross for us, we will never be able to understand the intensity of His limitl...
Awakening is knocking at the door. The times of unprecedented favour are just around the corner. The Holy Spirit is sending His fragrance on all those who are hungry for more. His fragrance will co...
The more the bow is stretched, the further the arrow goes. The bow is stretched to the extreme, even until the point of breaking. This precise moment of potential breaking becomes the moment of rel...
The greatest thing we could ever teach our children is about Jesus. Who He is. What He has done. Showing them that He is everything and everywhere. Parents are called for a work of planting the see...

My husband and I, we absolutely adore our daughter. We love her so much that our hearts explode of joy every time we are with her. Never in my life before becoming a mother I ever imagined I will l...
Victory has to happen on the inside before it can be seen on the outside.
The world we live in speaks a lot about leadership, how can one go further in being a leader. Jesus teach us the opposite - to serve. Who can serve more. Soft hearts and willing to do what no one e...
Has the intensity of our worship grown in this season of intimacy or has it diminished because it’s not public and collective worship at this time ? God honours worship and prayer behind closed doo...
The nations are called for a time of STOPPING and BEING PRESENT . Not making or doing. Just breathing and being. We live frantic lives constantly running and doing stuff. At such a time as this the...
God is like the wind, active but yet unseen.
God’s love is not general, God’s love is intricately detailed for each and everyone of us.
The resurrection of Jesus is the most extraordinary fact in human history. His resurrection power transforms our hearts, our lives, our families, our work places, our communities and our society. H...
Looking at our baby girl this Christmas, at her innocence and purity reminds me of the baby in the stable born more than 2000 years ago. Jesus came into this world as a baby, in the most vulnerable...
One of the things the Lord kept bringing to my heart in the last couple of days, was that the more we seek godly (invisible) things the more He will bless us with worldly (visible) things. Seeking ...
Walking through creation and not stopping to look at flowers, the sky or listen to the birds, is like going though an art gallery and not even looking at the paintings.
When a seed is planted in a pot nothing is seen. It will take a long time probably until a tiny plant will spring up in the pot. The seed needs water and light in order to grow. I believe faith is ...
The greatest, most important and complex work that takes place during our lives is in the heart. Not the outside circumstances, but the heart. God is longing to warm our hearts with His love. Pure ...
God has been shifting things this past year in powerful ways. The call and importantance of motherhood is taking its well deserved place. ALL mothers (biological mothers, stepmothers, godmothers, a...

It has been a season of shaking. It still is. But in the same time, we are living the times when God’s presence is being released in unimaginable ways and places. No more walls. People are going fo...
The measure with which God reveals Himself is the measure of our wonder and expectancy for Him...not the world not the people not the things...but Him.
