A very important update

Please see here to subscribe to our mailing list .

Dear Church,

As some of you will know, over the last nine months Mairi and I have been living amidst the discomfort of temporary accommodation with our uprooted lives “on hold” and our earthly belongings in storage. 

Despite the daily struggle, it has been an immense privilege to have recognised early in this process that the LORD was revealing His Word to me. This Word of the LORD has been foolishly counterfeited in recent months by various ministries in Great Britain and it will be rejected by many when it is proclaimed authentically.

As a videographer, and, more importantly, as a man of God with no pulpit, I had originally wanted to bring His Word as a series of films, produced to the best of my ability, to honour the preciousness of what the LORD has given to me. But as a result of bewildering health difficulties for us both, (please also see here), not having assistance where we are located and having been repeatedly cancelled by other outfits, I am now persuaded that He wants me to bring what I have prepared over these months as simply as possible

He has brought me to my Cherith, to my knees, and it is in this posture that I will speak what He has commanded. 

Consequently, I will not be producing these films with b-roll, dramatic locations, props, animation or specialist equipment; I will be publishing eight basic videos over the course of the next eight weeks that will straightforwardly facilitate speaking what He has given me to speak. You will find the videos here.

The Church at large do not want to listen but God’s living Word will speak; we will each remain accountable. The pastoral leaderships of churches in the United Kingdom, (and historic umbrella organisations), are not called and gifted to speak this Word; they are being called to listen to it, to humble themselves and to repent for having not. As a symptom of the root problem within the Church, when they attempt to act outside of their calling they only compound the problem, further harming the Body of Christ. They have refused to be trained by anguish and, as such, they are not qualified or empowered to speak. The institutionalised professionalism and arrogance of their half-baked commentary is rebuke-worthy.

I will publish the first video, Lord willing, in the next few days and, henceforth, seven more over consecutive weeks. 

Can I please ask that all who have ears to hear prepare themselves in prayer before then for what I will be bringing — not merely to listen but to respond faithfully?

In Christ,

MARANATHA

  1. I feel so so sad. God said in Isaiah 22:4, “Look away from me; let me weep bitter tears concerning the destruction of the daughter of my people” God’s heart remains tender towards his church , oh that we would respond to his wooing of us before it becomes too late. Repentance & lament are such precious gifts to us & bring the balm of restoration to the Father that we might be restored.
