Free 2b Face to Face
Isaiah 43:19 "Behold, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs forth; do
you not perceive and know it and will you not give heed to it? I will even make
a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert."
So often we talk about
walking in personal relationship or in other words in intimacy with our God,
but what are we really talking about?
What does a personal relationship with God really look like on a Monday
morning? Does our redemptive gift play a
role in how we experience our intimacy with God? How do I overcome my battlefield? Is warfare intimacy? What needs to happen for us to experience
reconciliation and closure when we sinned so that we can return to intimacy
with our Father? Over the years I have
asked these questions myself and I have heard many of my friends ask the same
questions. Towards the end of 2014 the Lord
gave me the word from Isaiah 43:19. In
the second half of the verse he says he wants to make a way in our wilderness
and he wants to bring rivers into our desert.
I understood it as to say that he wants to pour out the living water of
His Spirit into the dry and desolate places of our hearts. Into those areas where intimacy and personal relationship
with him is not yet a living stream of water bubbling from his throne. What a promise and what an expectation to
have of 2015 that the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords wants to bring life
to the dry and dead places of my relationship with him! In the first half of the verse he said he
would do it through a new thing and that we have to be careful to know and give
heed to it as it springs forth inside of us.
This became the vision
and mandate of our brand new weekend course Free 2b Face to Face. Thank you so much to Lighthouse Ministries in
Struisbaai who assisted us with the pilot weekend. There were many highlights during the weekend
it was an eye opener to listen to people speaking about how they experience their
intimacy with God the Father, Jesus the King, Bridegroom, Saviour and Son of
God as well as with the Holy Spirit. Fascinating
testimonies came from the activities and God gave us a task to fulfill. We had to fill a big bottle with scripture
and send it off to sea. Somewhere there
is someone who has a divine appointment with a message from God in a bottle! One young man wrote a song, another spoke
about how God showed him he is a lump of clay in Father’s hands, one lady made
a heart and “filled” the heart with scripture God gave her, another brought
herself as an instrument of worship and warfare and a living sacrifice to him. He is so faithful when we draw near to him no
matter in what way – he draws near to us.
He draws us unto himself. We give
Father all the glory and honour for a wonderful weekend in his presence!
