Hey, have you ever met someone who knows a lot of things but doesn’t seem very wise? That’s because knowledge is knowing information, but wisdom is knowing what to do with that information. We are on day 13 of our 21 days of prayer and fasting here at Perth Hills Church, and today’s devotion is all about walking in wisdom . When we pray and fast, we’re not just denying ourselves things. We’re pressing into God’s presence — and in His presence is His wisdom. In the Old Testame

Hey, welcome to day 12 of our 21 days of prayer and fasting here at Perth Hills Church. I want to encourage you with today’s devotional, which is all about walking in humility . Often in the Old Testament, when we see the people of God humbling themselves, it was expressed through fasting and prayer. Fasting is a way of humbling ourselves before God. The Bible teaches us to humble ourselves — we don’t want God to humble us. It’s something we choose to do, because Scripture pr

Hey, have you ever really wanted to change? Maybe there’s an area of your life where you want to see transformation. Today’s devotional for day 11 of our 21 days of prayer and fasting is for you. Romans 12:2 says, “Do not be conformed to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” Changing the way you think brings transformation. It all starts there. In this season of fasting and prayer, as we get into the Word of God and align our thinking wi

Hey, is the Bible just full of rules and do's and don'ts? Many people think their perception of God is like a judge sitting in the sky looking to punish bad behaviour, wanting to modify behaviour and remove all the fun from people’s lives. But that couldn’t be further from the truth of the God of the Bible. God is not a religious God, but a relational God. From the very beginning in the Garden of Eden with Adam and Eve, He desired relationship, and that’s what it is still abo

Hey, have you ever walked on water? No — me either. Today’s devotional is called “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.” It comes from Proverbs 3:5–6  and it’s about trusting God’s direction. We’re in 21 days of prayer and fasting, seeking God’s direction for the new year, and we’re up to day nine. When I think about trusting God’s direction, I think about not leaning on my own understanding. So often we try to figure things out and mak

Jesus said in John 10:27, “My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.” Welcome to day eight of our 21 days of prayer and fasting here at Perth Hills Church. Well done getting through the first week. Today’s devotional is about learning to listen . One thing fasting and prayer does as we slow down is give us ears to hear. You can be driving through the Perth Hills and suddenly your radio signal cuts out. The station hasn’t stopped broadcasting — they’re stil

Have you ever noticed your phone doesn’t show you random things? My phone doesn’t suddenly show me the hundred-year history of stamp collecting. No — your phone shows you what you’ve been feeding on. You watch one cooking video, one gym workout, or one video of a sheep being shorn, and suddenly your feed is filled with more of the same. The algorithm recognises what you focus on and keeps feeding it back to you. We are in a season of 21 days of prayer and fasting, and on day

Good morning. My name is Brad. I’m the shearing pastor and also pastor of Perth Hills Church here in the Perth Hills. We are on a journey of 21 days of prayer and fasting. You can download the devotional booklet we’re using from the Kalamunda Church website under the resources section: 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting . We are currently in a season of rebranding as Perth Hills Church, reflecting more of who we are and what God is doing among us. Today is day six, and this is one

Welcome to day five of our 21 days of prayer and fasting here at Perth Hills Church. We’ve been following the fasting devotional, and day five is called A Clean Heart . It comes from Psalm 51, where David prays an incredible prayer to God after a very difficult season when sin in his life was exposed. He prays, “Create in me a clean heart, O God,” and also, “Restore to me the joy of Your salvation.” Something inside David needed to come out. When I go into a sauna, I sweat an

Welcome to day four of our 21 days of prayer and fasting here at Perth Hills Church. I hope you’re going well. Today’s devotion is about being still before God. In a world that is hurried, worried, and fast, being still can be a real challenge. But fasting and prayer create a way for us to slow down. Our scripture today is Psalm 46:10: “Be still and know that I am God.” I love the thought that stillness and waiting on God comes before the knowledge God wants us to have. As yo

Good morning. My name is Brad. I’m the shearing pastor, and on my YouTube channel I would normally be sharing shearing clips and spiritual tips. But our church, Perth Hills Church, is in a season of 21 days of prayer and fasting, and we’re up to day three. So today I want to share the devotional from our booklet titled A Life of Surrender . Have you ever noticed how powerful body language is? Someone doesn’t need to use words for you to see they’re angry, sad, or bored. You c

Good morning everyone. This is day two of our 21 days of prayer and fasting. If you haven’t downloaded the journal we’ve prepared, you can find it on the Kalamunda Church website under the resources section and download it there. We are tracking through this together with daily devotionals, because fasting and prayer is not just about refraining from food — it’s about a spiritual purpose. It aligns us to hear from God more clearly and to seek Him first. On day two, the devoti
