𝐎𝐮𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐭𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐮𝐥! – 𝐒𝐨 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝, 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐉𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐬 𝐚𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐫 – 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐝 – 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐬 𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐲 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐞 𝐦𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐦𝐚𝐬 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐝:
“𝑭𝒐𝒓 𝑮𝒐𝒅 𝑺𝒐 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒍𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒉𝒆 𝒈𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝑯𝒊𝒔 𝒐𝒏𝒍𝒚 𝑺𝒐𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒘𝒉𝒐𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒘𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝒃𝒆𝒍𝒊𝒆𝒗𝒆 𝒊𝒏 𝑯𝒊𝒎 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒚 𝒘𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒉 𝒃𝒖𝒕 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒍𝒂𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒍𝒊𝒇𝒆”
𝐎𝐮𝐫 𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐬’ 𝐛𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐧 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤 𝐨𝐟 𝐩𝐫𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 where we meet to seek God for prepared hearts and minds and divine encounters – we pray for our communities and seek God for a prophetic edge.
During this time God gave the grounding Scripture 𝐍𝐞𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐚𝐡 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟖 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞 𝟏𝟎 and the account of the Israelites weeping -for they had understood the Word of God and how they had failed to keep God’s commands – Nehemiah exhorted them “𝑫𝒐 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒈𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒗𝒆 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒋𝒐𝒚 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑳𝒐𝒓𝒅 𝒊𝒔 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒆𝒏𝒈𝒕𝒉”
The Godly sorrow they felt led them to repentance and a right standing with God – the prophetic word was released “𝐖𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐬𝐞𝐞 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐍𝐚𝐯𝐚𝐧” – One young man with his family was so overcome by the presence of God he could not say anything but just wept as we hugged and encouraged him.
𝐀 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐠 𝐌𝐮𝐬𝐥𝐢𝐦 𝐠𝐢𝐫𝐥 𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐝 𝟏𝟒 𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐚𝐝𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐉𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐬 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐛𝐨𝐭𝐡 𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐫 as written in the Quran (Surah Verse 45) Jesus is called Messiah and most High esteemed of God –as she was led in a prayer of salvation God’s Holy presence filled the atmosphere.
One Latvian woman and her daughter were captivated to the spot as they heard, possibly for the first time in their life that 𝐆𝐨𝐝 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 – and He desired a personal relationship with them – as they were prayed with they felt the presence of God’s Holy Spirit.
Another elderly woman throwing a cigarette into the bin was asked; “would you like to be set free from those cigarettes?” - as we prayed she felt the tangible presence of the Master’s touch.
Not everyone was willing to accept our message of salvation that is found in only one name – Jesus Christ and some even cussed at us – but the love of Christ urges, and compels us to share this wonderful message that just 𝐚𝐬 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐨𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐉𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐬 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭, 𝐬𝐨 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞.
God’s power for your life is only a prayer away and He is more willing to accept and forgive you than you are to receive His love.
