Covenants
June 28th, 2026
Though covenants are rarely used or understood in our modern western culture, there is enormous benefit to seeking understanding and insight into God’s creation of ‘covenants’. It is encouraging to consider that God created the idea and use of covenants and when we seek the Scriptures it is very clear that He considers them to be very important. If God, the Creator of all things, considers somethi...
Fear of the Lord
June 28th, 2026
The fear of the Lord is perhaps the greatest treasure the Church needs in these days. That is a big statement, but I wouldn’t say it if I didn’t believe it was true! Many of us may be aware of the subtle withdrawing from the ways of the fear of God over the past several decades, but it is also at this present time that the message of the fear of the Lord is re-appearing; in books, sermons, prayers...
Our First Mission Trip with Flame
June 28th, 2026
Having completed Forge 1 and 2 in Leeds last Autumn we began to pray about joining a Flame Mission team. When the Armenia trip opened it seemed apparent that the Lord had opened a door for us. We had prayed for Armenia for many years, and Dave had visited Yerevan with an Aid organisation only three years before. We had some experience of short-term mission, but it soon became clear that the level...
Field Report - Nigeria
June 28th, 2026
When I came across Flame International, nearly three years ago and discovered what they did, I had such an excitement within me. I knew it was the Lord and felt deep down - ‘I want to do that!’ To be honest, I didn’t imagine that it would actually happen. I had never been to a third world country, never been to Africa, never been on mission, but in February this year I found myself sitting in Heat...
Jezebel Spirit
June 28th, 2026
We may, or may not, be aware of the Jezebel spirit but I suspect that at some point we will all have been exposed to it. In this article we’ll explore what it is, what it does, the effect it has and finally what we can do about it, there is good news! One thing that makes this difficult is that we are more adept at seeing this in others than we are in ourselves, so there will be the need for us to...
Giving as a response to God’s grace
June 28th, 2026
When people discuss giving, money tends to come up first. Other forms exist too, and giving is often framed as time, talent, and treasure. This article focuses on giving to missions, mostly from the treasure angle. To do so, I draw on what the Bible says about money and on well-known examples of believers supporting mission, to consider what healthy giving looks like when done in partnership with ...
The Forge Testimonies
June 28th, 2026
Denise - Forge 1 CreweAs I listened to the teaching on Fear and the Lordship of Jesus, so much resonated with me. Fear had so often gripped me on any occasion that involved standing up to speak in front of people. Nausea and irrational thoughts would consume my mind; I would try to avoid it at all costs.A few weeks before, I said yes to leading a service so that our youth could be part of it. I fe...

It was in Juba, South Sudan, whilst ministering to a group of South Sudanese Army Chaplains at a Flame conference that I witnessed my first miracle as a result of this teaching, Healing the Land.It was the final teaching of the conference, and after the teaching we gave space for the Chaplains to respond in prayer. These large, strong, and godly men humbled themselves, kneeling to pray and formed ...
