A deeper understanding.

In the past few weeks we have had five baptisms, one guy gave his life to the Lord, a trip to the zoo, a trip to the markets, and many a trip to the beach. This past week was Prayer Week and, boy, it was intense. Our teacher for the week taught us how prayer and worship go hand-in-hand and it has revolutionized my whole idea of prayer. I am excited to pray now!

  • So last Monday, we had a 24hour prayer day, where we each had a three hour shift with several other people and spent those three hours in prayer for nations, each other, our friends/family and our outreach coming up. Three hours have never passed so quickly! It was amazing. ALSO, that night during night lectures/night worship sesh, one gal prayed for my back and the spot that had been giving me grief was healed instantly! Hallelujah! SO faith building.
  • Tuesday, after lectures, we had individual prayer time. So we each went off by ourselves for four hours and just hung out with the Lord. It was so refreshing. :)
  • Wednesday afternoon was house prayer. I just love the ladies in my house. We had a lovely time of encouraging each other and praying for each other. <3 Wednesday evening saw a release in worship and prayer like never before. You should ask me about that sometime. ;) It was epic.
  • On Thursday morning it was my teams turn to lead intercession for a nation and we spent the morning praying for Moldova. Those times of interceding for various other nations has taught me about faith and believing even though we don't always see the results. Very cool. Thursday night was the conclusion of our lectures for the week and we spent the evening praying for family members and friends.
  • Friday was a relaxing day. We watched "Father of Lights" in the morning and then had a bbq at the beach that night.
God has revealed so much of Himself to me and through that He has revealed a lot about myself and how He has equipped me to do whatever He will call me to. I am excited to see where He takes me!

Victorious!

Our wonderful DTS group!


God has been slowly and surely picking away pieces of the wall around my heart that were holding me back that I didn't even know existed. Two days ago, while on my one-on-one with my lovely friend, I was able to deal with and surrender to God one of the lies that I had been believing about myself for years. So right there in the CUTEST coffee/tea store (seriously Mom, you'd love it) I had a good crying sesh and I've been flying on a cloud of joy and freedom since. I just love the Lord! ^_^ I know that it was just the first step in a process of realizing what God wants me to let go of, but I am content to rest in Him and let it happen in His timing.


What has God been teaching you lately?
