finally... an update!

I've been meaning to blog in the past month. What clinched it for me is my brother's dictatorial, almost biblical command in my orange heart to heart message box in the left column: Thou shalt blog.

The last 3 weeks have been really busy for me. Mum was away for 2 weeks and i took over her private lessons which came up to about 9-10 hours a week on 3 days - all these on top of my own lessons. Thank God for His strength and wisdom, and my husband who was very understanding. I experienced the love of the Lord through my brothers and sister in law too!

Then over 3 evenings whilst mum was away, i attended a ladies' convention. Oh... that was so refreshing and it helped open my spiritual eyes! The Word of God was powerfully preached, the main message being the Power of Peace. I have heard from the Lord concerning things I had been seeking Him about, and it is as though a cloud had lifted, and i see clearer what He put in my heart.

He showed me what to do, and i'm taking steps to obey Him. He also showed me that my eyes should be fixed on Him. Whether the changes take place immediately or not, it is not my concern. My part is to do what He tells me to do, and to dream dreams that are from Him. I had begun to stop praying about some of the things that God had put on my heart, because they had been a long time (many years already) in coming, and naturally speaking, i can't see them being fulfilled.

In other words, I am learning not to be so much bothered by what is not happening (in the natural), or even what is happening, but just do what the Lord instructs. And you know what? Already, i sense in my heart an increase in His anointing. There were words of knowledge and wisdom released for 2 young ladies i prayed for after service last Sunday. They were much edified. God is so good.

And as i prayed with one lady before the service began, i started sharing my heart about what God had shown me some years back, and what He's been teaching me recently, the Holy Spirit gave us the privilege to pray for He wanted to accomplish during the service and it was.
We were praying for hearts impassioned and on fire for the Lord, and these were exactly what the speaker spoke on.

Members were so touched by the message that many were talking to one another about the impact of the message a few days later.

Thank You Lord for igniting in me again a passion to pray. I had not given up praying all this while for the church and for many other things that God put in my heart, but for a long time had not experienced this level of excitement in praying for the church. In other things yes, but not for the church. Now it's different!
