So Much to Say, So I Took the Time

So I am trying to get better at keeping this updated. So here is the skinny on all that has been going on. Well that is if I can remember it all.

I will add pics when interent is my friend.

2 weekends ago I went to Bethlehem to visit my friends Aaron and Brenda. It was an amazing time. I got to know them a little better and I got to go into the Arab refugee camp with them. It was a very enlightening time with them. Rick Ridings has been quoted saying, “If you love the Jews with an earthly love you will hate the Arabs. If you love the Arabs with an earthly love you will hate the Jews. But if you love one with God’s love you will love the other.” And it was so easy to see that in Bethlehem. My heart went out to these people we met. They are in the refugee camp because when Israel became a State they were kicked out of their houses and towns. And my heart went out to them, but I had to remember that it wasn’t the Jews fault. It was God’s plan for Israel. It was very neat to see the Arab side of Israel.

Then that following week we had a team from Bethel, Redding, CA here. I ended up seeing them 3 nights in a row. It was just amazing. It is very hard to put words to what all happened. The presence of the Lord just fell and the anointing and Glory was just thick in the places we met.

Then came Shavout, Pentecost. At the Prayer Tower we had an all night meeting. It was a big event since we aren’t quite 24 hr a day yet and people from congregation came and joined us. Wayne and Ann lead the first watch, they are the Pastor and his wife from King of Kings. And Stephen and myself joined by Stevenson lead the second watch. It was good. I think I received a breakthrough in prophetic singing that night. Then there were 2 more watches but I was exhausted from battling things in the spirit that I went home. The next day, Monday, I went to a picnic. I wasn’t sure I was going to go at first, but a friend asked me to come because she was performing. And I am glad I went. It was apparently a countrywide gathering of believers in the land. For those who don’t know me I am fairly shy, so I didn’t go around talking to many people but I hung with a friend’s family most of the afternoon. Then that evening we had “Soaking” with Aaron and Brenda and the place we usually meet at was busy so we hung out at a restaurant and then went to the park. While we were at the park the presence of the Lord descended and we started praying and we hear behind us, “Praise the Lord” and there were 2 Arab believers and we didn’t even ask them anything we just had them join us in the circle praying. I just thought it was amazing to see Jews, Arabs, and other countries around the world, all holding hands and praying in the name of Yeshua (Jesus). Then we went to McDonalds and the presence of the Lord fell there and we were getting filled with the Holy Spirit. It was fun to watch grown men get prayed for and start falling out in the Spirit in the middle of McDs.

The rest of the week just kinda flew by. I picked up some more watches at the Prayer Tower. I went to Succot Hallel on Tues and Wed. I stayed later then normal on Tues, and that watch was amazing. I saw right before my eyes the throne of the Lord come down into the room and the Lord was sitting in His throne. So all I knew to do was grab the train of His robe and not let go. So I think I will stay for that watch again this week. Shabbot was kind of quite. My congregation put up a volleyball net in the park on Fri afternoon so I went and played. Then hung out with friends. Saturday was congregation. And that brings us to today. I will try to be better from now on. But I make no promises.
Have a blessed week.

So Much to Say, So Little Time

So a lot has gone on, but only one thing tonight. There is a revelation that I thought I would share with everyone.

Two weeks ago at a Soaking Meeting (waiting in the presence of the Lord) Aaron talked about resting/waiting on the Lord during the battle. And how God will fight the battles for us as we rest in Him. And for some of us that is a hard idea to grasp. And for like the last few months we have also just been letting the Lord reduce us to love. That when Yeshua died on the cross he was no longer recogniazble as man, he was then simply love hanging there on the tree for us. But then last night at Succot Hallel Joaquin Evans was talking about "stopping doing and falling into love." He was talking about waiting on God and letting the Holy Spirit show up and letting him do the work. Because we can't do the work anyways. In the Bible it says "those who abide in Me will bear fruit" (paraphrase John 15:4) it doesn't say those who work will bear fruit.

It's just a new revelation to think that if we shift our focus from doing and striving and fighting to Yeshua. He will take care of the rest. He will fight the enemy for us, He will heal the sick. We just have to focus on Him and allow Him to come and to fall into His love.
