All spiritual progress depends on our hunger, and unless we are freshly emptied in spirit to be filled with the Lord, we are indifferent to our own spiritual life and are in spiritual stagnation; God is helping us to progress with the Lord by giving us difficulties for us to open more deeply. Oh Lord […]
Blessed are the Poor in Spirit: those Emptied and Unloaded to Receive from the Lord
We need to be poor in spirit, emptied and unloaded in our human spirit, so that we may realise and possess the kingdom of the heavens; this means we need to be humble, acknowledging that we have nothing, know nothing, can do nothing, and are nothing, so we need the Lord’s filling desperately. Amen, Lord, […]

Oh Lord, teach us how to fellowship with […]
