  • Devotional #10: Blood, Sweat & Tears (+podcast update)

    Hello!

    Thank you for listening to Into the Pray.

    This morning’s devotional provides a brief update on the podcast before looking briefly at two greek words that have been pivotally important to me over the years, specifically as regards to how we should orient ourselves towards the Church. 

    Greek word one: Splagchnizomai
    Greek word two: Paradidomi 

    As we grow in love and maturity before Jesus as Lord and Saviour so too should our love for the Bride of Christ also grow.

    Look out for our joint podcast on Friday examining the recent aggression of a fierce atheist.

    Thank you for your prayers as I compete my second manuscript. If you'd like to support this project as a partly auto-biographical follow-on from Body Zero (2019), please drop me a line.

  • The Message of Malachi 🔥

    Hello.

    Thank you for listening to Into the Pray.

    The prophet Malachi is normally pulled off the dusty shelf to support a pastor's teaching about tithes and offerings. Is this a faithful handling of Scripture?

    This podcast is available on YouTube here .

    Full reading of the book Malachi is here.

  • Babylon Takeover (Jeremiah 5) 🦁

    Hello.

    Thank you for listening to Into the Pray.

    This podcast is available in video on YouTube here .

    Previous related podcast is here.

    Please read Jeremiah chapter 5, 6 & 7.

    An appalling and horrible thing has happened in the land: the prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests rule at their direction; my people love to have it so.

    The bold defiance of the people of God in refusing to repent before God has had (and will have) dire consequences.…but what will you do when the end comes?

    May God have mercy on us all.

  • The Queen’s Passing: Testing National Prophecy 👑

    Hello.

    Thank you for listening to Into the Pray.

    Previous related podcast is here.

    Jeremiah: Babylon Takeover (YouTube currently blocked outside of U.K. but I’m working on it).

    1 Thessalonians 5:20-22 says,

    “Do not despise prophecies, but test everything; hold fast what is good. Abstain from every form of evil.”

    How does this testing relate to national prophecy to Great Britain and the British Church that seems in part to be correct, perhaps even impressively correct?

    May God have mercy on us all.

    Thank you for listening to Into the Pray.

    How close were we to national repentance? How close might we still be?

  • The Struggle to Stand (Notional is the Enemy of National) 🇬🇧

    Greetings and thank you for listening to Into the Pray.

    Today's podcast is an unplanned word for the church relating to this 60 second video here.

    You can read the blog here.

    Do you feel discouraged, confused, hopeless, isolated?

    There is a current onslaught on The Church, not against the lukewarm or the counterfeit but against those who want to stand and who are willing to be prepared to stand. There are powerful forces in the heavenly places that are bent on causing those who would stand, not to stand. Demonic deception and discouragement prowl like an unnatural lion, roaring as it hunts, seeking to devour those who would stand, those who are willing to be prepared.

    The Church is struggling to stand against Satan, a reality that daily impacts all of us.

    Hence, we pray “Maranatha!”

    We hope this podcast and this brief video is an encouragement to you towards playing your part in what God really wants to do in the nations.

  • Devotional #9: The Impudence of Job’s Brothers

    Hello!

    Thank you for listening to Into the Pray.

    This morning’s devotional is something of an autobiographical reflection - a memoir of the prophetic calling - by looking briefly at some of Job’s experiences dealing with so-called friends and brothers.

    There are some experiences in this sojourn of “church life” (think of Blur) that should warrant close listening and prayerful reflection, but, instead, result only in impudence.

    Hence, we pray “Maranatha!”
