I arrived late this morning and the worship service had already begun without me
The reason for this delay was that God as downloading stuff right up to 11:00am regarding certain transitions that we as a church have to undergo in order to recover a missional focus.
Worship was FREAKIN' AWESOME!!! In fact, worship broke me. It really undid me. Mad me realize that Father loves me SO MUCH, that should I stumble or fall, I am CAUGHT in HIS GRACE!!!! That realization compels me to want to please Him more and more! There is an anointing and a presence during our worships times that is just medicinal!! I honestly believe that we are fast approaching a time when anything can breakout in our services just because of the glory present during worship. Can it be any other way?
Jaydan then shared an OFF-THE-HOOK-TESTIMONY!!!!! - He had been teaching his 6-year old nephew Daniel how to play "Glory, Glory, Glory" on the keyboard at his place. After a while his nephew gets the hang of it and then spends over ONE AND A HALF HOURS just praising and singing GLORY!!!!!! C'mon!!! People, I think we have a little fire starter in our hands.. But there is more!
Jaydan pulls him away from the keyboard at 11:00pm and tucks this little one to bed - Daniel says that he is still singing in his mind!
Jaydan then hears this massive choir singing Glory! Glory! Glory! - He thought that he must be hearing things until Daniel says, "I can hear the angels singing!" !!!!!!!!!! C'mon!!! Freaking off-the-hook!!!!!!
Brian shared another testimony of how he was led to pray for a lady in a supermarket in Spain that had just been diagnosed with cancer, and was able to authoritatively command healing right there in the aisle!!! We look forward to hearing from her with an amazing testimony soon.
Ladies and gentlemen, supermarkets are now considered a legitimate ministry area!
This lady was not expecting this "Special Offer" when she went bargain hunting that day - She was not the one seeking, she was the one being sought, by the precious love of Father. I am just amazed by the love that God is placing in or people - they are starting to step out in public places in order to pray for people!!!
In between testimonies, I managed to share a few words ( :) ) on the Holy Spirit as Helper, and Friends, and the difference between moving in realm sof power and realms of authority.
When we move in power, God is initiating a wave of supernatural activity that we are responding to - we "ride the wave"
When we move in authority, we are stepping out in the authority of a son of God and a wave of supernatural activity is created by us! - we "initiate the wave"
Derek shared on the two heart realities of working FOR God's favour versus working FROM God's favour.
After the message I shared on some sessions that we will be having during September where we will be casting some vision and charting a future course for the church.
Many changes need to happen if we want to have a more missional focus
In order to manage these changes I propose to have a Transitional Leadership team set in place in the very near future with a clear mandate to help bring about that change during a time frame of 1 to 2 years.
During that mandate, there will be extensive profiling and gift-assessments of everyone to assess what areas of church service are most suitable for them.
After this mandate expires then those on the leadership team will be either confirmed, or step aside on order to set in place a permanent leadership team.
