Much is happening. Yesterday was amazing.
I went down to Starbucks in the hotel to get that long-awaited cup of coffee and write in my journal. I sat down, and Kurt sooned joined me. We were chatting, and Nate arrived. The three of us were talking about healing when a man near us kind of joined in. His wife was messing around on the computer in the business section.
We came to find out that they were from MN and were at the call. He was a Spirit-filled man and on his 33rd anniversary from his baptism in the Spirit. Kurt prophesied that the man was about to enter a new season of annointing. That errupted into us praying over the man. I felt the presence of the Lord as strong as I did all weekend. Nathan prophetically prayed against freemasonry.
Come to find out, Lee’s dad was in freemasonry. So, we talked him through severing those ties.
We had a wonderful visit with them, and there was no doubt that God had ordained this moment. As we were parting, we all hugged. Kurt gave Lee’s wife a very long hug, and she told him that there was healing in that hug. She had no idea.
It was quite a moment.
We ate at Waffle house, and Nate prayed for a couple.
At the airport, as we were dropping Nate off, he brings up the issue of a squeezing around his throat that impedes his worship and singing. He described it a bit, and Kurt picked up that that wasnt of God. So, we prayed. We warred against that devil trying to steal Nathan’s worship. It was amazing. Twice, on my count, did Nate jerk/convulse. We were casting some devil right out of him. Bless God. That devil came right on out. And, only God knew that it was there.
So, we got a real cool lesson in warfare.
On the way home, Kurt and I got to talking about the Radikals. It was really apparent that I have a bone up my butt about Mark, and his need to push our meeting time way back cause it’s too early. That defeats the purpose of our being radical for God. The essence of this wasnt about that, however. God showed me through Kurt that if I am going to lead people, I need to do so in humility and with patience and in love. Not everyone is where I am. Jesus assembled 12 guys that were miles away from where He was. But, He rallied them around His mission to the point that they were willing to die for Him. Good lesson there and well taken. Lord, burn the need to control and fear of letting go out of me.
Secondly, Kurt was pushing me not to pray in tongues around non-believers. I wanted to push back cause I am a jerk like that. Kurt’s persistence led me to the truth that I need to be humble and listen to God speaking through others. This is a continuation of the earlier lesson on listening to Him through others. I can prophesy, so I dont need to listen to others says my pride. God says otherwise. I know the Bible, so I dont need to listen to others says my pride. God says otherwise. Bless God.
I pray for continued events like these to shape, test and reveal what’s in my heart. Change me, Father. For YOUR Name’s sake, make me like you.
