• 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
