Today we return to the theme of freedom, rescue and deliverance. On Boxing day I had three dreams which all had the theme of ‘being locked-down’, being trapped in or imprisoned in someway. The same day there was a headline about Prince Andrew being excluded from the Royal Family which…
A very short nocturnal phrase – dream
In the night I was given or shown something to look up. It was the words on top of a book, like some words resting on the top of an antique book or ancient tablet. The words were these: John’s Increases Dream I repeated it in my mind through the…
The rainbow of the Lord!
I had a dream but went for a different approach from normal before writing it down. I prayed about his kingdom coming, various aspects of my life from family to church, to the world with all that’s been happening to and for us recently, especially financially regarding having our benefits…
Enlarge your heart
I must have dozed off as I suddenly realised I’d seen something in that period after some early morning contemplation, which might be important. I’m knocking on a door. I go in. It’s a small room. It’s a surgery room. I say, “ you called me in”. I look around the small room and see there…
Blowing my trumpet?!
On waking up I thought one morning – am I being intentional with my life? I was thinking about the Three Circles and people’s approaches to what their world is about, Someone from church shared with us the Disciple Making Movement (DMM) approach which was also in my thinking and…

Some outdoor nature awe
In the month of June this year a few keen folk and I ventured out as Forest Church for a late evening walk on Whitmoor Common. There were a couple of highlights for me that evening. This time of year there is often an expectation due to the season of…
Being a light, being an influencer
In Eitan Bar’s book on Hell, there was a little eye opener for me about the light of the world phrase which is helpful as I read the Epistle of 1 John near the end of the Bible. A Jew would understand this as a metaphor for how they can…
The Garden farm new job dream
I’m on a farm, which is a gardening farm. Very large scale. It’s my first day. I am seeing a lot of activity. I am introduced to my own personal trainer she’s a lovely person. She’s called away yet I go with her. We view various pieces of the estate.…
Two fish rescue dream
Dream At a beach had to move up and behind a hedge to put our chairs as the tide was coming in. It was a very beautiful picturesque wide mouthed Cornish Bay. I think I was with Anna again. The scene changed to one of being out in the fields…
Unable to read a passage of the Bible dream
This dream was in one sense a ‘disturbing’ dream. The way it disturbed me was through not being able to read and especially read a passage in the Bible which will become clear. For me not being able to do this in my waking life is where I get disconnected…
Weird work place dream
This is why I’ve placed you on this earth because you feel like you do! (Demonstrating an aspect of who God is) This phrase came to me as I considered a very colourful enigmatic vivid dream. I had started a new job in a company which had lots of people…
Body Scan Dream
I was asked by some medical person to get under this big device which was like a single narrow arched wall i.e. half an arch. I sat on an old flat wicker chair and sidled on it slowly like a crab sideways in line with the machine. I looked at…
Chinese Christian teacher dream
I was in China in a classroom situation with a beautiful young Chinese woman. She had long black hair and was quite tall. She was wearing a trousers suit. She was teaching children. I knew she was a Christian. She was teaching the children a forbidden subject in a large…
Introduction to a series of dreams
A series of dreams in the last week or two have been very compelling. These dreams stir me to seek the Lord. I ask what are you saying to me through these dreams? What are you saying in a wider context – to the church? The prophetic is for the…
Excited about a new book
After a little over a month I received Frank Viola’s book which may have come by ship as it took that long! The book came out about March 3 2025. The book in question is a complete rewrite of an old one and has been many years in the making.…
Pay attention to the time!
Does God speak today? Are the seemingly random coincidences and events just that or is something more going on in our lives? Does His Spirit intersect and cross into our lives pointing things out, bringing things to remembrance that he’s said from of old? I woke up and saw the…
Sin management?
This a repost of a daily reading from the Wild at Heart website by John Eldredge You have your heads in your Bibles constantly because you think you’ll find eternal life there. But you miss the forest for the trees. These Scriptures are all about me! And here I am,…
A little on who satan is and his demise
This article is a little follow on from the last one where I wrote about accusations. Here are some considerations about accusations. Some would say it’s good to know your enemy and what they’re up to even The Apostle Paul alludes to this in 2 Corinthians 4.5-11 , especially verse…
The dream that saved a farmers farm
Here’s a quick post highlighting the importance of listening to God through dreams. This one is a story about a dream which saved a farmers farm. This comes from Dr. Tania Harris email news. You can see more of resources here. God Conversations
A dream that led to important biblical English words beginning with ‘re’.
Everybody dreams, whether they remember them or not is the real issue. As you will know from this website especially the dreams and interpretation menu, I am an advocate that you should pay attention to your dreams. In the last month I came across Tania Harris who has written a…
Imaging God in the garden
I have come back to thinking about the image of God and being made in his likeness. I love this video which helpfully explains about the context of what is going on in the ancient times in other cultures surrounding Israel.
The Lodger
A small gecko lived in my house – I never knew him. His ways were beyond my eyes, but days would come when my life would intersect with his and then I knew he was there. ~ A man lived in my house – I never knew him. He was…
Shephanim – a mystery creature?
This morning I was reading Psalm 104 – a great creation Psalm in the New American Standard Bible. I reached verse 18 and read the word shephanim. Here was a word that required looking up. First the verse: The high mountains are for the wild goats;The cliffs are a refuge…
A new place for nature connection
For some time I’ve been passing an opening in a hedge line and seeing a set of gates which are never open. I thought it was access to some private property. Chris who has written a blog for me on this site was adventurous and recently said he’d been and…
Tea Ceremony Forest Church
Inspiration can come at the most unexpected times. I was weeding ground elder and suddenly a little thought came out of the blue about what I should prepare and lead at the next Forest Church. The little thought was tea ceremony. I had a rush of excitement as I considered…
Late April bird walk with surprises
I headed out to an area I haven’t visited for about a year. I parked by the green in Wood Street on the edge of Guildford in Surrey and went down one of the lanes which leads to the pedestrian railway crossing. About 12 years ago to the day –…
Faith, loyalty, royalty and idolatry
I would like to share with you something I have been considering recently. It relates to faith, loyalty, royalty and idolatry. Some of my thinking is still raw but it might set off something in your thinking and cause you to look at what the Bible says about it in…
A short Dose of Nature!
On March 19th I wrote a throw away comment on a very short post which was a poem. The post mentioned Dose of Nature. This is a relatively new charity which I have become a guide for. You can find out more about the charity here: https://www.doseofnature.org.uk/ This charity was…
Ash keys
Whilst training today as a Dose of nature guide we were encouraged to sit and write for three minutes about something that we could see that took our attention. I wrote this which sounded like a poem as my pencil scribed: Ash keys, hanging at height, clustered tightly together. Dieing…
Elusive goshawks in a local forest
It was a bit of a murky afternoon but brightening. The temperature warmed from the chill of the February morning where ice had to be scraped off the vehicles. I climbed into the car and managed to avoid the traffic works by driving in the opposite direction. There was a…

New page added under the Supernatural menu of supernatural video links to some Biblical based content.
Contentious bird sighting – Goshawk – theophany?!
Potentially contentious sighting as you will see when you read on. It is due to the nature of the bird in question that it is contentious. Fox Corner Community Wildlife Reserve called me today. It’s the time of year for hearing or beginning to hear common frog (Rana temporaria).…
Two bird poems which caught my attention
Whilst researching for Forest Church I came across these two poems which are appropriate for this site. The Jackdaw There is a bird who, by his coat And by the hoarseness of his note, Might be supposed a crow; A great frequenter of the church, Where, bishop-like, he finds a perch, And dormitory too. Above the…
Walk on shortest day of 2023
Yesterday went out for a saunter with the family bar one member who needed extra sleep. Depending on who’s view you read it was Britain’s shortest day. Newlands Corner on the edge of the North Downs was the destination. Ever since the kids were little we use to go there…
Write what you see
Introduction The beginning of my exploration into writing came a few years ago, whilst I was overseas in Ghana, West Africa. Writing about what was happening in my situation, on a monthly basis, was considered to be a courtesy. The writing was to inform friends and family supporters of what…

More on the church and Christians in Iran
Back in August of last year (2022) I wrote a post about the Iranian church. Today I have been watching some other videos about Iran which are from a different source. This is where you can find the first one of the series. It’s called ‘Why Christianity is Booming in…
Isn’t this supposed to be a Gonja literacy day?
(10.12.99) After experiencing my coldest night (15°C) in Ghana – in the Upper West region, the sun was gladly welcomed – almost willed into the sky! It was good not to rush to the site of the Gonja literacy day directly from Tamale, but to take time after travelling for five…
Yeshua as the mercy seat – Yahweh’s presence on earth
On October 7th 2023 Israel was attacked by Hamas. It put me in mind of the chapters from Romans 9 to 11 in the New Testament of the Bible. I thought it would be good to read it again from a thought-for-thought translation – the New Living Translation (NLT). More…
