The JOURNEY of Knowing Christ
Our salvation encounter with Jesus Christ launched us on an amazing journey.
The journey’s large centrepiece is the call to constantly know Christ more, and to not lose sight of that, regardless of the landscape changes in our life-journey.
The centrepiece influences how we experience the present, face what’s ahead, and interpret what we’ve come through.
The video, The JOURNEY of Knowing Christ is about seizing the centrepiece. It’s a good focus for the start of the new year, and will make a difference to the way we journey through it.
Watch the 8-minute video, The JOURNEY of Knowing Christ.
Journey of the Heart
The Lord is here! He is showing us his glory! These two amazing truths belong in our future ‘Home-with-the-Lord’ picture, but he’s made them happen for us now! How can we know his glory more? God doesn’t hand us a list of dos and don’ts, but he shows us what’s...
Put it into Words
Moses had amazing face-to-face encounters with God in the tent of meeting. But it wasn’t enough. He longed to know God more, and he put it into words: Now show me your glory (Ex 33:18). He was probably unaware of the size of his request. GLORY refers to God’s infinite...
Towards Prayer for Revival – the NEED
You can now watch TOWARDS Prayer for Revival, the video version expanded from last month’s blog post. Awareness of the need for the church to be revived and the hearts of people to be awakened to the Lord isn’t the only trigger for revival prayer, but it is an...
Towards Prayer for Revival
We might not be ready to pray for revival, but there are steps that can help us move TOWARDS prayer for revival. Asking God for a revival can be unsettling. There’s an element of ‘holy fear’ in the thought of God unpacking levels of his power among us we haven’t...
Contemplation
Hunger for God will grow if it's fed. Prayers of contemplation will do that, but it’s definitely not spiritual fast food. In Psalm 63, David declares his longing for the Lord, and shows or hints at three types of prayer that nurtured his spiritual appetite. The first...
Stretch Our Appetite
Spiritual hunger is one of the Holy Spirit’s shaping tools for changing us. Desire for the Lord shows we believe what he says about himself. Healthy faith thirsts for God.1 It urges us to know him more and become more like him. Hunger for God is strong and will keep...
See and Respond
We live unto the Lord, whether in a Sunday service or the Monday marketplace, a quiet home or noisy public space (Col 3:23). Amazingly, the Lord involves himself in our daily lives, alongside managing the universe and steering the affairs of nations! He is with us;...
Our Resident Intercessor
A few months ago, I wrote about Christ’s 24/7 intercession for us, and how it gives us a reason to live restfully. This post enlarges the picture, and it has to do with our resident intercessor. The Holy Spirit loves to draw attention to what Jesus is doing. But in...
Pray for the messenger
Pray for the messenger. Paul regularly made that appeal to churches because of the high-value message he and his team carried. The message of Christ is powerful, and is crucial to the unfolding of his plans for lives. It’s a threat to Satan’s hold on hearts and...
Prayer Medley
Some prayer types are mentioned frequently in the Bible (e.g., thanksgiving, praise, supplication). Others are practised without being specifically named (e.g., lament, adoration, declaration). Sticking to the most mentioned types of prayer isn’t wrong, but we could...
