Well this week is almost over already, it has gone by so quickly. This morning we had gotten feedback from our school leaders about our outreach options and turns out as a school, we have a slight situation on our hands lol. But it is nothing that some clear direction from God and time in prayer in seeking his heart can't influence and fix. They gave us our options on Tuesday and gave us until Wednesday to turn them in, and here they are:
1. Team to the East Coast of America, and Israel
2. Haiti
3. China and then Thailand
4. Japan - an extended time there
5. West coast of America to the East Coast
So yes we all need to re pray and ask the Lord for his timing and for confirmation with the places. I personally felt before phase 2 started a strong and unusual inkling in my heart toward Israel, but has a super strong tug at the East Coast again and when I was previously there, I was sensing that at some point I was going to be back there, so we will see. I feel pretty confident in the time that I have taken it before the Lord in prayer, so I am excited to see where we all end up!
Today in class Loren Cunningham ( the founder of YWAM) got a chance to come and speak, which was really a in depth and challenging talk :) Really challenging us to be revived inside of our hearts before we can see revival in society. Then tonight at out Thursday night worship service Lou Engle spoke and really wrecked a lot of hearts for the cause of prayer and intercession. He said something along the lines of how the Lord is looking for a place to dwell and that he is going to find that dwelling place at a house of prayer, that cries our for him and contends with him. WOW! Crazy crazy. He has us stand up and pray for Revival to come to America he has us all at the same time declare to the Lord our hearts toward. Whet I felt to pray was for America to wake up and turn her heart back to God. We were founded by forefathers who loved God and valued the Bible and lived by it, so our foundation is on the Bible and the Lord. If only America will listen to God, he is singing over us as a nation and is waiting for a response. Yes I understand there is a lot of TALK about revival and this huge awakening coming to America, and it is easy to set our eyes on the BIG idea and hype of revival and not look at the practical side of it all. And our school leader Andy Byrd was sharing earlier in the week and the Lord has been giving me revelation of the meaning of Revival and what it is. Revival is the heart begin revived and brought back to life. And on the spiritual side of it I took it as me personally being revived and awakened to who God is so I can therefore know him and make him known. Funny cuz that is YWAM's moddo to know God and make him known, but before I knew that it was the cry of my heart. It is for sure cool to be here and see how God has been preparing me for this season of my life right now as long as for DTS, almost my whole life.
Lately God has been reminding me of my childhood a lot, which I really valued my childhood so it is cool to look back and see where I was then, dead to God but that because I have seen who he is, repented of staying in darkness and saying yes to him inside of my heart to begin an amazing relationship with the creater of the Universe, seeing I am alive now, is really awesome! Well I could go on and on but i'm going to get going!
Blessings and revelation of the father!
