Our Father speaks to each and everyone of us, in many different ways for many different reasons. This week I have heard Him loud and clear. We are God's children, heirs to the Kingdom. We walk in His authority over this earth, the authority of The One Who mearly spoke a word and the heavens and the earth were created. All we need is faith, the size of a mustard seed...

 

 

Outreach this week was unlike any of the other weeks. The majority of our team were under spiritual attack, including myself, in a BIG way!! I was not really keen to go to the children this week, not because I didn't want to see them, but because I felt like I had nothing to give them except tears. However, Praise The Lord He encouraged us to take it to Him, give glory to Him and pray!! We drove to the kids ministry in 4 cars, and on our way there 3 out of the 4 cars (without any sort of communication between one another) felt like we were not meant to continue with our lesson plan for the day but rather just play, chat and love the kids...Isn't God good. We arrived, dedicated the time to The Lord and just enjoyed the children's company. Most of us, if not all of us felt that there was 'breakthrough', we were able to take our relationship with the children to a deeper level. This is where true discipleship starts!! I completely understand why the enemy was attacking us so hard, he was fearful of the outcome. HAHA!! ALL GLORY TO GOD!

Needless to say, we all left our outreach in high spirits, headaches, tiredness and sadness to be heard of never again! AMEN!

 

The last few weeks our topics have been on Holy Spirit and Hearing God's voice. This is an incredibly powerful subject, which we have had incredibly annointed speakers for. As I dive deeper into the water with God I realise that He is so present! He is continuosly moulding us, refining us, speaking to us and pouring out His love upon us. I have always known God is omni-present, but I have never felt it with each second of each day. The Lord has really been challenging me to get out of my comfort zone, as outside of my comfort zone I have to rely more on God's strength...ever heard of the saying “when we are weak, He is strong”? And each time that I take this step of faith, I am overwhelmed with His commitment and faithfulness.

Last week we were speaking about prophesy and we had a time of practical...don't know about some of you, but this can be a task that can really stretch you out of your comfort zone...telling people what you think God is saying!!! A few students were chosen to go up for prophesy, while the rest of us sat praying for the students. Then the lecturer would bring his tape recorder to whom ever had a word, which you then spoke out in front of the class. The Lord had shown me a picture of an intersection (I knew it was a 4 way stop but I could not see the option to go straight or right, only left). I had no idea what this meant. Anyway, our speaker then decided to ask if there was anyone that really wanted to stretch themselves beyond what they had initially seen. Of course, me being so eager to grow my spiritual giftings I hesitantly raised my hand. I went up in front of the class and told the student what I had seen, the speaker coaxed me to continue, however I had no idea what this picture meant. I prayed and slowly the Lord revealed to what the picture meant. Then the speaker asked me to continue...oh my goodness, more???I lay hands on the student and continued to pray, step by step the Lord revealed more to me. The finished word was that his next step he needs to take is going to be the only option available and all though it might possibly be a negative road to go down, The Lord is guiding him. His ministry is going to be one of reconciliation and that it will start down this road. This road is going to be a righteous path to walk. I was so grateful to The Lord for not leaving me standing with nothing. For coming through in my weakness and vulnerability.

I want to encourage you to ask The Lord for a word/picture/vision for someone this week. God is always speaking, we just have to be still and listen.
