Intercession & Worship

What a wonderful week it has been! This week in lectures we have been learning about intercession and worship. We were blessed with an amazing speaker, Cora Dawson. I was impacted by her teachings, and presence. She is a true woman of God, so amazing!

Intercession- I wasn't quite sure what it really meant at first. This past week I was taught what TRUE intercession is. Finding your quiet place with God, letting Him come and speak to you in any way He wants to, whither it's with a picture, vision, scripture, or His voice. This can happen during worship as well.

Most of us knew what it was to worship God. Stand there, shout praises, sing beautiful songs that were written about His glory, lifting our hands to Him, and feeling the presence of the Holy Spirit. Yes, worship is all of that, but a key thing I learned this week is that when you begin to worship the Lord, you need your whole being in it. Your heart, soul, spirit needs to be engaged, and then your body. Your whole being, you know? I never looked at worship in that way. After a couple of days of these teachings about what TRUE worship was about, getting your whole being intact I really tried to go into class worship time yesterday with that mentality, and boy did I have an amazing time during worship and connecting with the Lord! He gave me visions, and prayers that I shouted out to Him that I knew He heard and that I trust He will start working in the prayers I spoke. I am so thankful for this week's teachings, because it's really showed me different and more impactful ways to reach the Lord. And it excites me because I know it excites Him as well!

It's been an amazing week, from last week's repentance and forgiveness I've just had a complete turn around. It's a great feeling, He made me clean and white as snow. I am jumping around with nothing but a smile on my face because He is making Himself to present and known in my life right now, and I trust in so many different ways that He will continue to do so, even during the nights that I miss my family and friends at home. I've noticed that nights are the hardest here, when the night starts to wind down I sometimes just wish that I was in my own bed at home, cuddling with my Seymore :) and having my mom walk in and say, 'What do you work tomorrow?' Haha, or my step dad yelling, 'You didn't wash your dishes!'. During those times I just cuddle to my quilt and give praise to the Lord for my family, the day, and just ask for comfort and strength.

The weekend is almost here, and like I've said before I love weekends in Perth. Nice and relaxing. This weekend some of my friends and I are going to a great outlet place, and Sunday I'm going to a church I haven't been to before.

Keep the prayers comin! They are working!! The Lord is sooo good! Remember that, that He is good.

There is NO evil in Him!

Amen to that ;) Love and miss you all xoxo
