A people prepared for the Lord
`O LORD, You are my God! I will exalt You; I will praise Your name. For You have worked wonders – plans formed long ago – in perfect faithfulness. (Is. 25:1 BSB) What is it about Israel that causes so many to believe that both the land and the people are special in...
The High Way to Heaven – An Introduction to Isaiah 33-35
Has there ever been a poet-prophet to compare with Isaiah? He is to the Scriptures what Shakespeare is to English literature. And how amazing that these inspired revelations and profound warnings to the ancient nation of Israel were not confined to his own generation...
Are we praying through rose-coloured lenses?
War has always been a truly terrible thing. But, for thousands of years, its horrors were kept somewhat limited to the regions in which it was being waged. This is no longer the case: today, we have only to click a button, and its dreadful realities are right there in...
As we gradually add more material onto this already extensive website, we would love to encourage you to make good use of the SEARCH button, and try looking for any theme, topic or nation you may be interested in to see if we have already featured it. Do explore the longer items and lovely musical prayer poems we have posted under the READ, LISTEN and WATCH buttons at the very top.
There are plenty of much shorter items and articles too to ponder. May these short reflections for example bless you as you spend time in ‘Thoughtful’ Places with the Lord!
short thoughts
“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.”
Colossians 3:16
For thousands of years, God’s people have been weaving music, meditation and prayer together in a fragrant offering to Him. We have had the privilege of working with some remarkable song writers, composers and minstrels who have played beautifully rich music and anointed worship, that inspires faith, aids the release of healing and powerfully undergirds intercession. May you receive a deep touch from the Lord as you enter in to these extensive libraries and collections.
On the right you will find links to Sound Cloud tracks, and below a number of Playlists that feature themes, songs and items by individual composers.
Jesus, let Your presence draw near as we listen!

ABOUT
We will be adding many things to this website as it develops and these drop-down boxes will provide easy navigation to access them. We are at the very beginning of this process but are excited as to what we will be going to share with you.
ARTICLES TO READ
The Hebrew word ‘mashal’ means ‘to speak’, as in a short prophetic utterance. It is used of parables and teachings that focus on particular issues and that impart specific truths. It seemed a good word to run with – especially because I was looking for something beginning with M to go with the town we live in: Malvern!
We send out regular ezines that combine devotional meditations, teaching articles and intercessory prayer themes and insights with powerful music that we have recorded with outstanding musician friends.
We will soon be adding many more articles and links to the website – watch this space!
LISTEN
Listen to beautiful music – sometimes set to thoughtful prayers and meditations – that will inspire prayer and draw you into the presence of God.
WATCH
Open our eyes, Lord, we want to see
(Matt. 20:33)
PRAY
I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my understanding; I will sing with my spirit, but I will also sing with my understanding. (1 Cor. 14:15)
