Wow thankyou Jesus! For the first semi major event we have ever hosted we were blown away how the Lord brought it together. The people who put up their hand and helped out were just fantastic! Each and every one making it what it was. Honestly the peace of the Lord was all over it. Each person just took their position whether being asked or not and stepped up into it with such strength and capability that it blew Jim and I away. THANKYOU TO ALL for releasing what was in your hand - your loaves and fishes!
As for Nicky and the Band, what can we say - you guys too stepped up in such a powerfully anointed way. It was awesome. The worship was so led by the spirit and you could see the effort and time you had put in paid off so powerfully with peace and rest flowing from the throne. If you haven't seen these guys before and need a itinerant worship group then people get a hold of these guys! www.nickymoran.com
As for the rest - while truly the REST & PEACE of the Lord was so there. Every session once again different as you moved led by the Spirit to what he wanted to minister to.
The first night being one of the Power of God being released. The fire of God so evident touching people radically. The talk centered around whose house are you building from Haggai and to finding the precious jewels in the field in Matt 13:44 that we sell all we have to buy that field. Some needed a fresh touch from the Lord to remember the preciousness of those jewels that they had once found.
The second was so gentle with the Lord dealing with areas of grief and broken relationships followed with communion - it was so special. Jim spoke about being grafted into the vine and that we have a choice to come in and be a part of the family or sitting outside watching from a distance sharing his example of our new kitten.
The third session more of breaking the chains and setting the captives free to be who they were called to be. The talk was about the body and how we needed each part of the body to function because if we don't we withhold our gift to the rest of the body. People began sharing what the Lord was showing them to everyone, one by one words of knowledge came, pictures came, testimony came, just wonderful to see the different parts of body being released to bring together a whole picture.
And the final session talked about humility and what is true humility and man's humility and sharing what you have with others in the market place through testimonies shared. The understanding of knowing who you are with the authority that you have in Christ yet being able to be a servant. It doesn't matter what you do or who you are under, you can be a free person full of authority yet serve as Christ did.
All Glory and praise to the Lord as he changed each one of us. For Jim and myself it too was a step up into what the Lord has been saying leaving behind fear of man and stepping into what God says about us and the anointing he has given us to walk in. We are growing in it as each of us are, but we press on in faith believing that He can do what He said he will do, realising without Him we can do nothing! It was a vision come to pass for us this past weekend and then the Lord would say, its even more than you think, ask or imagine (Eph 3:20) so what we are seeing is nothing compared to what is to come. There is always more in the Lord so never allow yourselves to settle with where you are at because the Lord would encourage to continue to press on in Him in faith and see what He will do. When we realise we can't do it and step out in that, then He steps in and gets all the glory and praise that is due His name. When we are obedient to his voice and trust when he says that those who trust in him will never be put to shame, then we begin to come into some of the fullness of joy that the Lord has promised to those who love him. Continue to press on in Him people. Bless each one of you! The Lord has good plans for you, plans to prosper and not to harm, plans with a hope and a future!
