Ascension
Luke 24:49-53 NKJV Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high." [50] And He led them out as far as Bethany, and He lifted up His hands and blessed them. [51] Now it came to pass, while He blessed them, that He was parted from them and carried up into Heaven. [52] And they worshiped Him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy, [53] and were continually in the temple praising and blessing G

Rivers
John 7:38-39 NKJV He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water." [39] But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified. When I first was baptised in the Holy Spirit this verse became a real explanation of what had happened within me. I did indeed feel those living waters rushing and gushing from within me. Note wh

A lesson for Britain
Judges 8:34-35 NKJV Thus the children of Israel did not remember the LORD their God, who had delivered them from the hands of all their enemies on every side; [35] nor did they show kindness to the house of Jerubbaal (Gideon) in accordance with the good he had done for Israel. 8th May was VE Day. How different it was from last year when the country celebrated 80 years since the end of WW2. There was hardly a mention of the great victory over the brutal Nazi tyranny. No venera

Unreachably unwilling!
John 5:39-40,43 NKJV You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me. [40] But you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life. [43] I have come in My Father's Name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, him you will receive. Jesus speaks to the religious leaders of His time and also for the time to come. He'd just healed a guy who'd been disabled for 38 years, lying in wait for som

Resurrection is coming!
John 5:24-29 NKJV "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life. [25] Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live. [26] For as the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have life in Himself, [27] and has given Him authority to exec

Break up the fallow ground
Hosea 10:12 NKJV Sow for yourselves righteousness; Reap in mercy; Break up your fallow ground, For it is time to seek the LORD, Till He comes and rains righteousness on you. After winter the ground in the garden needs digging and breaking up in order for seeds to be sown. Otherwise nothing can grow. God calls me to break up the fallow (dormant and hard bits) of my innermost being and sow for myself, plant the seed of His Word there, seeking His Presence and His Mercy. My near

A different kind of fire...
Joshua 7:14-15,19-25 AMPC In the morning therefore, you shall present your tribes. And the tribe which the Lord takes shall come by families; and the family which the Lord takes shall come by households; and the household which the Lord takes shall come by persons. [15] And he who is taken with the devoted things shall be [killed and his body] burned with fire, he and all he has, because he has transgressed the covenant of the Lord and because he has done a shameful and wicke
