Churches around the globe welcome people on Sunday into the house of God. Wonderfully, many know the true meaning of this term. Their celebration together becomes a place of deep connection between the heart of God and the heart of man. But tragically, many are simply referring to a building or gathering. Each of us […]
In Genesis 26 we read the story where of Isaac’s wells – where Isaac digs and reopens wells. Prophetically this paints the picture of those who, today, dig those internal wells of capacity, that the river of life might fill them and flow through them to water others who are dry and thirsty. Jesus declared […]
Throughout our world today there is such conflict. There are wars, and so many people are afflicted by tragedy. In our own world, there are often challenges and conflicts that carry no explanation and tug us towards that place of bewilderment. In the midst of devastating news, hurled at us from every corner of the […]
Isaiah 58:12b “…And you shall be called the Repairer of the Breach, The Restorer of Streets to Dwell In.” “The Breach” is a reference to a wall that once protected and kept the city secure, having fallen into disarray and crumble. The city had become vulnerable to attack from adversaries. It describes those in The […]
I am convinced that the majority of people in our world are not anti-Jesus. Are some anti-church? Yes. But they are not necessarily anti-Jesus. But as followers of Christ, are we truly convinced in our Christianity? The gospel tells us that “the common people heard him gladly” (Mark 12:37). Why? The answer is simple: because […]
God promises us liberty and freedom. People often use the phrase, “I have my liberty!” Yet this statement can at times be made to justify wilful and selfish actions taken without regard to the hurt caused to others. So, what does it look like to be possessing true liberty from a biblical perspective? 2 Corinthians […]
I want to invite you into a world in which the physical, the tangible, and the seen are no longer restrictions to the experiencing of the power of His presence and His person. I want to invite you to be living beyond the veil! Revelation 3:21 (NKJV) To him who overcomes I will grant to sit […]
God uses prophetic pictures to describe God’s intention through an image which helps people understand and remember the message. I have often been asked what I experience when bringing a prophetic picture to an individual. What Do I See In a Prophetic Picture? Often what I see is some symbolic scene, activity, or substance. For […]
With today’s world fascinated with the themes of Harry Potter, the demonic, the spirit-world, and imaginary heroes, the Church is being challenged in the very area that should be their strongest domain: the unseen world. And God’s desire for us as followers of Christ is that we would have an understanding of seeing in the […]
Father gave me this word to bring to you: ‘Celebrate memories that will empower your future!’ Memories can either empower you or disempower you. They can either build your faith or destroy your faith. And the memories we carry into our future are the fruit of choice. That’s why it is vital to tomorrow’s success […]
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we just leapt from one glorious mountain top to the next? Birds singing, sun shining, flower blossoms and the sweet smell of summer… Then you wake up! The valley is real, the clouds are real, the birds sometimes just squawk, and you start to question the seemingly perpetual winter. So, […]
Dear Friends, It has been only on very rare occasions that I have claimed to make a declaration, as a Prophet, directly on behalf of my Father to the Body of Christ. But today is one of those days. Matthew 5:1-12 could not be clearer. God has promised indescribable ‘blessing’ (HIS choice of words) to […]
My dear friends, what an incredible hour we live in! It is no exaggeration to say that the Church is now the last ray of hope for a planet that hell is trying to take over and control. And yet, when I listened to the voice of the Holy Spirit, I hear him thundering out […]
2021. A new year dawns and with it the promise of new beginnings. For those of you for whom 2020 was a most difficult year, I want to declare the absolute certainty of a fresh start as you receive Father’s wonderful love and grace, releasing you from any disappointments of yesterday. For those of you […]
One of the most challenging things in life is being confronted with the need for change. Transition can be so difficult – yet it is common to us all. The world is filled with disillusioned and broken people that did not understand the nature of transition and the changes that it brings. We all experience […]
This world desperately needs to see Jesus as He really is. And this is where you and I come in! To be ambassadors of Christ. An ambassador speaks of a representative who will reflect the official position of whoever (or whatever) they are representing. At David McCracken Ministries, we have a passion to see the […]
The word ‘father’ brings to mind different meanings and memories for each person. For some, a father evokes positive or happy thoughts. For others, the memories of a father may be difficult—for any number of reasons. But what is our perception of God the Father? I believe that it is God’s desire that everyone receive […]
Easter is all about a cross, a cave and a resurrection. Easter is all about the birthplace of a miracle. When Jesus triumphantly emerged from the tomb that was a cave, He was the ultimate declaration of a Biblical principle that touches the life of us all. Jesus is the resurrection and the life! (John […]
Father wants to put fresh, new spiritual destinations in your heart, along with a compelling purpose for pursuing them. God has a new destination for you – this is a time to be listening! Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will […]
Although entering the Promised land was a wonderful, long-awaited day for Israel, there was one snag; the giants were still there! Why? Was there a reason God did not destroy these giants after seeing His people wandering in the desert for forty years? Why risk yet another generation being turned back by their intimidation and […]
There are times when we feel like God is too late. Our challenges have become overwhelming, and that answer to prayer still hasn’t come. There is a depth of experiencing God in pain and travail that transcends anything we know in times of rejoicing. These are the ‘wells in the desert’; the ‘treasures discovered in […]
Sometimes when the pressure of decision is very real, there is a place that I like to go. It’s a place in which stillness and silence reigns, where the beauty of God’s handiwork is seen so clearly. It’s so easy to love a place like that for so many reasons: the quietness, the beauty, the […]
Father knows your thoughts, your inner desires and dreams, your unspoken words of prayer. That personal and intimate conversation that is for His ears alone is precious and powerful. But the Angels and Demons do not know the silent whispers of your heart! They are only impacted by what you say with your mouth! Atmospheres […]
It is winter and the cold, crisp mornings awaken the senses and chase the fog from one’s brain. As I yet again gaze out of my office window, my eyes take in the conifer still lush and green, and the deciduous tree whose nakedness is so stark in contrast. There is one tree in particular […]
Have you ever felt God was asking you to do something completely unreasonable? Something that was glorious and wonderful in its potential but utterly impossible in its execution? Why entice me Lord, if there just isn’t any possibility of it? Well, just imagine being Joshua! The Jordan is a raging torrent of water that forbids […]
Have you ever dared to dream a dream but wondered when? Has God said that it is time for change, but you are wondering when? Have you ever been challenged to take a new horizon in faith but wondered when? What does God’s timing really look like in our lives? Ecclesiastes 3:1 tells us that […]
There are times in our lives when we have to make some very difficult decisions. Sometimes, in obedience to a very clear word from the Lord, we have to make decisions that tug at our emotions and defy our logic. The challenge in such times is to not to look at personalities and circumstances, or […]
