Sudden relief

Got stuck in the tube, on a Monday morning of what seems like a never ending week from the previous weeks of 9-12ams in london. It really goes against every instinct you have to stand still and not do anything. In those moments, His words came - through the list of memory verses we have been reminding ourselves with.

John 16:23 These things I have spoken to you, that in me You may have peace. in this world, you will face tribulations,but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.

Never experience such a strong sense of peace before. it's was a reassurance from Daddy God. The Word of God definitely is alive and living. Just 4 days before God kept re-emphasizing the same theme through:

1) Mikaylie singing in the living room just before bible study: "thank you Lord, I just wanna thank you Lord." Definitely felt His presence so tangible all the way up from my room.

2) bible study : Phil 4 Rejoicing in God always! Despite what the circumstance may be. Submitting to God in prayer. That peace that transcends all understanding.

3) the amazing time we had during Friday fellowship. It was extra special, having everyone in the room shout out something to be thankful for, sharing and encouraging one another in prayer and seeing people spend intimate moments with God in their own way.

4) Songs on Sunday : Waiting on Him, You are the peace that guards my heart.

5) consciously choosing not to worry! Matthew 26. And God providing the solution when I released the control I've to Him. O God! You are great! In times like this, heart is bursting to sing out to You!

prophecy by Eileen Fisher

Eileen Fisher: My Goodness is About to Unroll Over Your Nation by Eileen Fisher, Apr 13, 2013

The following corporate prophetic word was given by Eileen Fisher on March 12, 2013 during her weekly Prophetic School of the Holy Spirit meeting in Colorado Springs, Colorado:

The Lord said, "I've heard you. I have witnessed your hearts tonight. I have witnessed the tears: those inward and those outward. I tell you this night – by Myself, for there is no greater – I capture your tears. I capture your heart. I capture your dreams. Now I say, 'Capture Mine.'

"When you capture My dream, and when you capture My heart, and when you capture My vision, then you become all I have called you to be – Me walking upon the earth – not alone, not isolated, not forgotten, not abandoned. You will have no need to be understood, but instead you choose to understand. You have no need for recognition, and yet you will choose and want Me recognized.

Capturing God heart: him allowing us to feel and see what He sees. Eternal perspective. After God's own heart. Personalizing the vision knowing our calling in earth.

No needing to be understood or recognized : not about me. Insecurity is not there- outwardly looking at God and others. Not at me.

"Become My hands, become My feet, become My voice wherever you are. Listen for the stillness of My Spirit. Recognize the unction of My Spirit, for you are being lifted up and trained in a high level.

Training: unleashing our God given potential. Walking in the Spirit - is to walk in accordance to what He would do.

"Know I purified My people. I am purifying motives. I am pulling down self-ambition and self-appointed. I am calling My own to come and lay before Me in stillness, yet in alertness, recognizing My hand upon their heart, recognizing the prompting of My Spirit. I am looking for a people who will move for Me upon the earth. They will not be asking Me to move, but I will be looking and commanding them to move.

Purification. Biggest message ever. Laying down self ambition & pride. next part strikes me more: having to wait on God's timing but not in a relaxed state of mind. Still constantly alert to actively do His will. Yes He will cause growth but we still have to water and plant and harvest.

"Be not called into isolation, for the enemy would lead you there. For he would make you feel forsaken and abandoned. I do not forsake you, I do not abandon you; but I cherish you, and I treasure you.

Enemy's biggest lie: God doesn't care.

"I sent Mine out two-by-two, for at times one would be up and one would be down. But when I was with them, they were three in agreement. Know that I am looking for a people who will come to be in agreement with the Father, with the Spirit, and with Me.

Importance of being able to share & encoursge & cover one another in prayer and faith! Trinity - speaks of relationship. Not individuality.

"The Spirit is going to move in a miraculous way, and I am looking for those I can trust to move in signs, and wonders, and miracles, who will not look for the glory. In fact, they will have the 'Fear of the Lord' so in front of them that they will tremble in awe at My goodness. For My goodness is about to capture you. My goodness is about to unroll over your nation. And you will know it is the goodness of God that has been holding back the darkness.

"I say, be not afraid, but watch, wait, recognize the cloud of My goodness, and know when the cloud of my goodness is rolling, you too will be rolled up, protected, and sheltered in the cloud of the goodness of your God," says the Lord your God.

oh wow.

everything that God has been saying to me, personally, to us as a church, throughout the 40day fast till Hopefest and after Hopefest is encompassed in this. The word of God is living and true.

its time to let go, and let God

Ecc 3:1-8 To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven:

2 A time to be born, And a time to die; A time to plant, And a time to pluck what is planted; 3 A time to kill, And a time to heal; A time to break down, And a time to build up; 4 A time to weep, And a time to laugh; A time to mourn, And a time to dance; 5 A time to cast away stones, And a time to gather stones; A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing; 6 A time to gain, And a time to lose; A time to keep, And a time to throw away; 7 A time to tear, And a time to sew; A time to keep silence, And a time to speak; 8 A time to love, And a time to hate; A time of war, And a time of peace. Vs 11 : He has made everything beautiful in its time.

Dear God, help me to live my life, in submission to your time, to your purpose. in every season, allow my heart and mind to be sensitive to what you are planning and doing.

whiter than the snow

IMG_6344-2

So snow. In March. I thought nothing good could come out of it. What with everyone complaining about the cold, how it should be sunny and warm and how its effecting our plans. This morning, before service in empowerment meeting, as Eldos shared about Palm Sunday, us remembering Easter and what it signifies, it just reminded me of the song. It’s your blood that cleanses me It’s your blood that gives me life It’s your blood, that took my sin, In redeeming sacrifice That washes me, whiter than the snow, My Jesus, God’s precious sacrifice.

Seeing that blizzard outside, and the ground covered in Pure white snow. That’s us, being enveloped in our Father’s love.

overflow

_MG_0177A stream of thoughts running through my mind in the past weeks or so.I thought I’d write them somewhere in a list to reflect on the current state of mind.

| on worship                                                                                                                                 your hunger creates a low pressure for heaven to come down on. on worship leading : how can you lead people to worship if you yourself cannot access God’s presence? songs sang and caught on in church reflect the state or season in which the church is at the moment

| on purpose in life:                                                                                                                      “do you know that nothing you do in this life will ever matter, unless its about loving God and loving the people he has made” – Francis Chan

Hebrews 6:1-6                                                                                                                                  living a life conscious that it is a divine life that cannot exist but only through Him don’t be contented to go back easily and settle down in a comfortable position – time to move on to greater things! the minute you get the comfortable is the minute you should start getting up and doing things (reflective of my weekly schedule) in order that I keep being productive in my course/classes is to not go into a “lax” state of mind. Once im in there, it takes a while to get out.

Eph 3:10-11 God’s plan is so much more than we ever imagine it to be – through the church, angels learn about God

| on our attitude towards God:                                                                                                  guarding my heart – its sometimes so easy to slip unconsciously into an area of un-guarding. stay focus on the battlefield.

Matt 6:21 For where you treasure is, there your heart will be also. it just takes a little bit more hunger, a little while to wait on God, a little more determination to want to learn more – often times we give up to quickly even before God can show Himself to us.

| on seasons and timing: it’s definitely a season of revealing. God is making Himself known to us, making His plans known to us. If only we would take time to seek.Ears and eyes be attentive to listen and catch what the Holy Spirit is saying.

2 Chron 7:14, 2 Tim 1:9, Eph 1:4, 1 Pet 2:9
