We have been pouring out so much since we moved here and it's by God's grace that He sent Phil and Jill here for a visit. Their testimony of how God moved in their sabbatical so moved and inspired us. As we remembered their testimony the day after, the Holy Spirit reminded us that if we keep doing what we have been doing, at the pace we have been going, burnout is inevitable. There is only so far you can drive a car on empty. We prayed for a word from the Father and He answered. He called us to seek His presence.
Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth. Psalm 46:10
We started Friday night dinners again. That was great fun and God's presence was here. Good food, great conversation and fellowship, plus Greg and Brian, Carl (a new brother from the Circle), and Kris all shared their music and it was awesome! In a way, it looked a bit like the Art center we have been dreaming of.
Saturday night we went to a worship celebration at the Circle of Hope and that was so good. I cried out for the Spirit to come and He did not disappoint. So sweet to be with Him! I have almost forgot what that was like.
After the worship, I prayed for a homeless man (I think his name was Darryl) on the street just outside the Circle. God revealed that demons had this man. I told him just how much God loved him and then prayed for a renewal of his mind. Then I began to pray for a casting out of these demons and this man's eyes went wild. He shouted AMEN! and ran away in fear. I finished the prayer as I watched him run down the street and until God shows me otherwise, I am convinced a mustard seed was planted.
Yesterday morning was a huge blessing. Diana and I went to Eastgate WC and we were blasted in a God way. So, so good. Worship was beyond amazing led by Demetra Stallings and the guest speaker, Bob Hazlett was on fire. What a good message God placed in his heart! As Bob spoke, I received very specific words from Poppa about our struggles here. He pointed out what the enemy was trying to steal in our lives and that these were the very things that we needed to turn back to Him in worship and thanksgiving for.
After the service, I was blessed by prayer from Jenny Collins. I love that woman so much! Then I had a chance to pray for Bob and a few other folks. It is so easy to go to these meetings looking for a blessing. I think God more calls us to look for who He wants to bless.
I forgot just how hungry I was for God's presence until I was completely filled in His presence. Now I am starving for more. Yay God!
