What a neat surprise to be able to meet up with another squad on the field and have some time to intentionally pour into one another while seeking a word from the Father.
For an extended weekend, we gathered together and reconnected from Training Camp. I loved getting to spend time with the D squad folks and learn from them. Each day we had worship, prayer, breakout sessions, fun time, and a message from Gary Black. We were able to bridge hospitality, intercession, worship, and storytelling into a fabulous time of seeing G-d move in the hearts of His people, healings and deliverance occur, minds renewed, and refreshment falling as souls were Awakened to what only He has for us.
For me, there were many moments standing out as “weight” fell off and joy entered in the picture.
One morning I was praying for a squadmate when I felt like I should sing a song over her. It was “Desert Song” and this song has not really been on my mind since “Grace Unplugged” film set days. The cool thing was the worship team led this song at the evening session which was a nice surprise from Papa. Then the next day, a particular scripture was referenced at least three separate times throughout meetings and the song “We’ve Only Just Begun” came to mind which I haven’t thought about since Mission Bulgaria days with Ben singing it often. The following day I received a note with the same scripture on it. Also I decided to check out the main conference room another group had been using and there is the same scripture over the stage in big letters. Therefore, I danced to it while singing the song. 🙂 The same scripture was also referenced in a prophetic word given to me the last morning. In my world, this was clear communication from the Father and I had to laugh.
However, there were also many moments of simply having quality time with others whether it was a serious conversation or several hours of a card game that wouldn’t end. 🙂 This I think is what filled me up to overflowing with joy.
One of my teammates had been sitting in the same room as a one-on-one I was privileged to be a part of and told me afterwards how much peace of the presence of Jesus she felt during the lengthy conversation. She also said I was glowing! This overflowed into a late night conversation where I know I was there to pour light into a squadmate at a dark moment for them. Then I had an opportunity to pray with a leader over their headache and just when they wanted to give up, persistence remedied the situation by the grace of G-d’s healing. Another cool moment for me the last day was being able to see the person I was praying with receive baptism of the Holy Spirit and get her prayer language. Each day kept building onto the one before and the presence of G-d was certainly abounding!!!
A big take away from this weekend is realizing our job is simply to love. It’s no longer about heaven and hell or right and wrong but life and death.
Below is a picture of G & D squads before we split paths. I am excited to see the hearts of this generation on fire for what G-d is doing through them.
These lovely people are also very supportive of the endeavors we undertake to make sure the name of Jesus is known and His love felt.
They are standing with me for my full fundraising amount to be met by April 30th. I still need $5690 if you are able to contribute. 🙂 Click donate above and thanks so much for all the ways you guys support me as well. Your prayers are felt and appreciated.
