Day 80

Its been a hectic few weeks, hence my lack of posts over the last while. A load has happened since my last post. The worship school is under way and its been really good. We had two weeks with Jeremy and Connie Sinnott which was really good. They did a lot on prophetic singing, intimacy and the tabernacle. All of it was very interesting and enjoyable. We had Freshwind and it was great to see the bunch from home and it was great seeing them all touched. The conference was really good, with great worship from the band here and delirious. It was very tiring for me personally as i was working during the conference as well as ministering but it was a good experience. I worked on a stage outside run by the school of ministry and that was fun. I got to hang out with the crew from home for a couple of days and it was great to catch up. One downside was that I didn't get a chance to catch up on missed sleep and I was quite tired for that week but I loved seeing everyone.
Its hard to believe I'm past the halfway point on my trip away from home. Its been such a fabulous thing. Just looking back on it, sometimes I feel God has been doing much in me but over these last few days he's been showing me the differences from me then and me now. Its not like I've changed completely but he's just tweaked some things and dealt with struggles in my life. Its also a continuous thing. Its not like there's fresh revelation everyday and I hear his audible voice every half hour. Some days its about persevering and pursuing him and even if I don't "feel" him, I know he's constantly working in me. Last week was my hardest since I've been here and tiredness was a factor also. He was really speaking to me about my motivation and who am I out to please. Him or people. I just have to constantly maintain my focus on him and on him alone. My praise and adoration should go to him just because I love him to bits not because its the correct thing to do and if I do it my leaders will be proud of me. That's what he's really been speaking to me about my motivation and the reason for my worship. So that's interesting, not much fun on the old mood but these past few days have been really good in relation to that.
We've finally moved into our new building from our hotel and we're now right next to the church. Its a beautiful building with lovely rooms, an auditorium and classrooms. Se we're all settling in now. We're spending this week with Brian and Jenn Johnson and they're really good. We start each class with prophetic worship and they're really down to earth. So I'm in a good place and God is continuing to work in me and bless me. I'll try and be more regular in my posts in future.

Day 62

My apologies for the lack of posts but its been very busy the last while. I better start from the beginning of last week. We were in the middle of prophetic activation and it was really good stuff. Our teachers were Ivan and Isabel Alum and they also personally give every student a word. So they do it separately in single rooms. So I went into Ivan first and he said that he saw me like a thick loaf of bread full of grains and when the bread is set out on the table everyone takes from it and I will have a lot to give. He saw a pastoral anointing on me and he saw me going to desolate places church planting and just pouring into people who have been broken and hurt. He said I've an amazing anointing, passion and strength. He saw me in a full set of armour that's without a dent or scratch. He sees a huge father heart in me too.
Isabel also saw that I was strong, had leadership in me and that I had a pastoral heart. She said I will have a five fold ministry and that I've an apostolic anointing. There's a gift in my heart of endurance, that i am a fighter in a good way and that I can overcome opposition and battles. She saw me like David, Samson and Elijah bringing down strongholds. There is a spirit of a conqueror in me and that I won't see defeat in my life. I'm a survivor. I will receive a revelation of the fathers love and a release of joy in my heart. She also saw an apostolic anointing on my life. The stuff they said was just spot on and really blessed me.
So after that we had The Father loves you conference and that was really good. I was working in the kitchen doing dishes every afternoon and was on the ministry team in the evenings so it was quite a tiring experience but I really enjoyed the whole thing. Jack Frost was the highlight for me. He is such a gifted speaker and he had such a message that went straight to the heart. We also ended the conference with fire tunnels and that was cool.
The worship school officially started this week. So we've been spending the week with Jeremy and Connie Sinnott. Its been really good and they have such wisdom to impart and such fantastic hearts so its been really good. We've also been split into our worship teams for the duration of the school. They told us on Tuesday afternoon and they also told me that i was leading worship at the soaking centre that evening with some people from our team. So that was fun. It was me and two others from my team and we played in the soaking centre for two hours and it went really well. It was broadcasted over the Internet like most things here so you might see me some time playing. This weekend I'm at a friend's house getting a break from the hotel. His parents started CFC, Belfast with Paul Reid and they moved here 10 years ago and pastor a church an hour outside Toronto. So things are going well and I'm enjoying myself and God is doing a lot here. Looking forward to seeing all you guys coming to freshwind. Bless ye all.
