Many today feel they are wrestling with issues that are relentless and frustrating. But what is not always understood is that often it is God who is directly in the middle of this. He chooses the arena – the time and place – and He Himself is in the match with us – in fact, He is the One wrestling with us! This Podcast gives us a profound insight into the subject of The Ways of the Lord – and why certain things happen to us, and why at this time in history God seems relentless on releasing us into a vital season of breakthrough. But first He has to prepare us, and for that He needs our undivided attention and participation in those things that we least want to address - but – which are the very factors that will give the breakthrough and so release His destiny within us.

We are living in extraordinary days – but we serve an extraordinary God! He is the God of the impossible and the improbable – but we need to understand His timing and His generational promises.

Samson is one of the most intriguing characters in the Bible - and his story is more relevant for the 21st-century church today than ever before. The “Delilahs” of the day are very present - but so is the strategy and timing of the Lord! Samson is a “wake up call” for the people of God!

Everything seems to be happening at once! More Covid variants – the mask issue – possible vaccination passports – Afghanistan – a Canadian Federal Election – confusion over who can travel where – and when and how! What, on earth, is going on in the world, for Heaven’s Sake?Actually quite a lot in fact - but – we need the 'God Factor' to figure it out and to see how we are to be positioned and prepared for such a time as this.

Where is God in these Covid-19 days? What is He doing? What is He saying? What are His directives for 2021 and beyond? In this Podcast, Alistair shares on some of the key areas that God seems to be highlighting for His people to be aware of and to address at this moment of history. Yes, we live in extraordinary times – but the living God of all history is speaking to His people.

The Report of the Lord is at work today – but can we hear it? Do we see it? In this current moment of history, there are many “reports” vying for our attention. In Numbers 13 – there were 2 Reports – and we know what happened when the wrong report was acted on. Eventually the Report of the Lord came to pass and God fulfilled His promises and His vision for His people. The Lord is speaking to His people at this precise moment of history. This Podcast will encourage us all in laying hold of what He has said – is saying – and what He continues to say during these very challenging days – but at the same time giving us strategy and determination to ensure we lay hold of His Word in our lives - Now!

Extraordinary days – we need to know how to be a "Pilgrim" under the Lord’s direction and resist becoming ”settled” in our thinking and function – and above all not to become "nomadic" with no specific destiny in mind other than simply surviving.2020 – Many said it would be a ”year of vision". It certainly has been – but not in the manner many predicted. Instead the Lord has been releasing the Evidence of His Presence in our midst in ways that we would not normally see nor perceive unless His shaking of global circumstances opened up the eyes of our hearts to see what has really been going on. A year of the Pandemic – a year of strategic political elections – alliances – shifts and changes – and yet His Presence has been penetrating some of the most significant parts of life in current Biblical History. But how do we respond? Have a listen to this current edition of the Petrie Perspective. Above all – be encouraged!

It’s something we have all been doing the last several months – “Living In The Eye Of The Storm” – only this storm has been given a name - the Covid-19 Pandemic. It has virtually closed down Planet Earth for several months. Putting the conspiratorial issues aside, how do we live in the midst of a raging storm? Scripture has much to say on the matter and also gives us several insightful breakthrough points that will change the way we view storms and crises and turn them around to our advantage under the Lord’s Direction. Take your Bible and listen carefully and prayerfully as we examine this amazing theme and learn how to embrace storms rather than run from them. It changes how we pray – and how we live.

2020 – a year that so far is quite different from what we expected! But it has not caught God off guard. We have the choice to worry – or not to worry concerning all that has been, and continues to develop. Yet the words of Jesus are quite clear – Do Not Worry! In this Podcast we are reminded that we were created in God’s Image and that means we were created not to worry! A timely word – for such a time as this!

What does Jesus mean by these words from John 16:33? Can they really be applicable while we now live in a time of global pandemic and seeming chaos? Or is there something so rich and relevant and powerful in these words for us at this moment of global and Biblical history, that we dare not miss what He is saying?  We are living in extraordinary times – but we have an extraordinary God who is working for us – in us – and through us. But we need to be whole-hearted to grasp what this means… We need an undivided heart. This Podcast is a timely reminder about the awesome nature of the Living God who will do the improbable and the impossible – when we grasp the deep meaning of “the heart” from His perspective. Have your Bible and a notebook handy as we journey through Scripture while living in the world in such a time as this.

Alistair has shared this teaching with us during a time of great anxiety and perplexity in the global arena. He shares with us what Jesus meant when He related the days prior to His Return to the days of Noah – plus Alistair shares on the prevailing societal characteristics that prefaced the coming of an authentic Revival in Biblical history – as well as in modern history.Alistair also shares how we address the fear of the world that is all around us today – and how we can choose to move into the profound depth of having The Fear of the Lord at work in our lives.

In this Podcast, Alistair discusses the subject of the global pandemic which is on everybody's minds globally at the moment - and draws from the Word to answer the questions: What is God saying to his people right now, and what do we do? And most importantly, how should we respond?
