Saturday 28th December 2013

• Prophetic worship songs were sung, concerning Jesus "coming to fill the barren places", for "healing" and for something "about to happen", "just around the corner".

• The words from other songs came to mind during the worship, a sense of we’re through troubled waters and about to see what is coming next as we remain standing in Christ.  Also "May your love fill the trenches"

• Pictures shared of a map, burnt at the edges, touching civilisation. The good shepherd guiding his flock, Jesus as King walking by, coming to repair the walls, build and take the scaffold down. We will find we are (by God's grace) standing!

• For the New Year 2014, there was an emphasis on "revelation" gifts and things about to happen that will be curious, strange and unusual, when we’re in certain places because we’re in the right place at the right time things may "kick off" so we are able to be witnesses and give testimonies. Sovereign" moves of God. We may not even do anything, just be in a place. The Lord will sovereignly do a work; this is great as only He can get the glory for it! We will have the joy of sharing testimonies of what He has done!!!

• 1 Corinthians 2: 9 God’s spirit revealing to us what’s been hidden.

• A worship song from the Lord asking us to come closer, listen and pay attention to His life nourishing words, run to Him, Father God.

• “There is blue sky, where there’s been cloud” , “He builds the house by his own hands” , “Let God rise up within us”

• The song reminded us of the importance of running to God and listening to Him especially when we lack the ability to make a decision because we’re worrying and not getting into God’s presence. God has dealt the enemy a deathblow once and for all and the enemy is defeated. Isaiah 64: 2 make ‘Your Name’ known to your adversaries because He meets those who remember His ways, who rejoice and do righteousness. In Exodus 33:15 proclaim “His name” 

• Spanish word ‘Arriba’ has several meanings, which may vary, and Speedy Gonzales used the phrase in every situation! One definition in the dictionary we felt was for us was God’s exclamation of pleasure, approval, or elation. 

• Matthew 26:36 Jesus ‘praying’ in Gethsemane on his ‘starting blocks’ so his feet didn’t slip as they push out at the sound of the gun. God thru each of us wants to encounter places, people and some unusual opportunities where our prayer will be the key, we like Jesus in Gethsemane, need to be praying in order to push once more to receive the next good thing.

• Footprints in snow as the evidence of a form of faith? Isaiah1: 18 “let us reason together, though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow.” There will be moments when only God has the answer for those who argue with us. 

• Jcb digger? For digging? Out of Sync? Out of Synchronization or harmony with us?

• Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

• Prayed for Israel

Saturday 21st December 2013

• Worship songs; thanking the Lord, A Great awakening, sense of a real and literal revival/awakening.  

• Songs about how God sees us as precious and wants to show us his love; Songs about coming to the Lord in the river ‘spirit’ and those present stood in the river represented by a blue blanket and prayed and praised, asked for healing of emotions including family rejection and our physical bodies. Song ‘bridge over troubled water’. 

• Sense of coming to Mount Zion (Hebrews 12) in the process towards holiness when faced by oppression; our words can open doors to negative things happening. There is an entrance by thanksgiving to enter His courts with praise. 

• Praise is the key if we want victory and intercession will come down with a love of people and an anointing to break thru for things on their behalf; in the courts of praise, the desire to praise must come from God and the desire to intercede as ‘the love of God compels us’, its hard to intercede till you love people. 

• Intercession can be done in an order of focusing on Jesus first. 

Saturday 14th December

In the morning Ruth Paddon ran the first summit for Womens' Apostolic Alliance. It was a very powerful and successful time.

In the afternoon the Forerunners meeting had an emphasis on ‘Holiness’ - with prayers for all nations children, against oppression, slavery and for God’s plans with worship.

Song about Ester and a sense that people could approach the Lord and ask Him to hear their cause this meant approaching a flag representing the Lord and standing in front of it with a petition in our heart and believe as Ester did that if we tell the Lord our cause it will shift the enemy’s plan/intention.

Another person had a picture of Jesus as ‘a warrior’ with a sword coming from his mouth and ready to judge with the word of the spirit, behind him was an army preparing for ‘spiritual war’ and this signified to be prepared to be either in it and take up arms or be out there’s no middle ground its just ‘for’ or ‘against’.

Another person had Chapter 1:7 Revelation Chapter 34:5 Exodus and saw God’s spirit of order that God will go with us and stand with us and pass before us and make the impossible possible. Declared there’s an invitation God wants to make to light the fire again in this nation and us. The enemy tries to put that fire out but God has put His hand around the flame, around us to protect and warm us and thaw areas frozen cold. We’re living in days of trust, will we take His hand like a child and He will bring life to those things the enemy tries to keep us away from, like coming to God for His warmth. Say yes to God’s invitation to a season of being thawed.

Another person saw us before God’s throne in a courtroom of heaven singing and sensed this is how we do warfare, new revelation that God’s victory in the natural looked to the world differently to how it looked in heaven. Growing into the maturity of sons of God. Listen and look to Him, not by sight because the enemy tries to get us to fight with him, but by faith, ask God how to wage ‘spiritual warfare’ ask is it confessing my sin in his court room?

God say’s ‘Here is my beloved’. Another person saw blessing coming and for us to be open and ready to be blessed, to be a blessing in a new day.
