Out of the shadows
We both spend a fair amount of our time speaking in various places and locations. We have regular online platforms that we share on including our very own leadership hubs around the world. Whilst we love doing these there is nothing being there in person. People are like hidden treasure waiting to be found and to find them we need to be out there and ready. God is always looking to answer the prayers of people, they are His treasure often hidden and waiting to come out of the shadows and thats right where His heart is - with them.
The picture above has been sat on my laptop for a year. As I looked at it again I realised it was a prophetic word from God to us as well and hope for those we meet on the streets through Street life, our outreach ministry here in the UK. There is always a path of hope when it looks impossible we only have to seek it out with Gods leading - the path is often right there.
God has been opening some doors for speaking via the Filling Station UK. We both went to an event at Castle Hedingham where I spoke about how to get freedom and healing from past events, followed by spending time praying with people for that healing of the heart to come. As we prayed with the team before the meeting I felt Gods presence very strongly and knew it was a significant meeting for them. For myself it was as if God was gently reminding me of some things, a path of hope is open for us.
Last year I was booked to do a healing weekend with a Church on the south coast for various reasons on both sides we had to change the dates. We have just got home from that event. We had such a good time and again I felt the presence of God strongly on what the Church are pushing into. The Saturday evening saw many people come forward to prayer after hearing my story. Then again on the Sunday we had more opportunities to pray with people after sharing about Gods heart for mission. The Bible explains that supernatural things will happen when the gospel is spoken. Whilst we may not always understand this, it is merely what happens and for our part is to be faithful to be available and pray.
Both of these times I felt that God was doing something very specific and it was a joy to be part of that. Again a path of hope opening up. Look through the shadows and will find the path.
