Outstanding gathering
We had an outstanding gathering of over 40 pastors and leaders from Port Hardy to Victoria. An amazing time of food, fellowship, prayer, prophecy, soaking, painting, worshiping and more. The day I announced this gathering in our church a couple came forward and said they had just bought a 50lb bag of potatoes and 20 lbs of carrots and now knew what they were for. They also handled the whole dinner, guitar player, volunteers and paid for it! Friends that is a sure sign of God in the house. I am finding when we do God stuff we Get God supplies!
What a dinner
Johnny, our resident chef, along with his team prepared an amazing roast beef dinner with a great apply followed by an amazing cheese cake as well as a pop tart for the pastor!
Visions of the Harvest
I had Ken from Aaron house share with the folks a very powerful vision he had several years ago as a new believer. It is worth me getting him to write it out for a later post but in included a cloud coming in off the pacific ocean over the mountains and resting on Comox Valley. He found himself threshing a scythe in a massive harvest.
Healing
All in all our time was somewhat surreal as we encamped around His presence and purpose drawn together by the Holy Spirit.
Another testimony that was fantastic was the healing testimony of Sharon who cares for the youth at Port Hardy Christian Fellowship. She had major back problems for a long time and was completely healed. As God was healing her he also released her into ballet dance for about two hours and she was doing moves that shocked Mike & Dennise’s daughter Michelle as she was trained in ballet.
Hanukah
As our meeting fell on Hanukah we enjoyed the symbolic lighting of the menorah candles and remembering the occasion of a celebrated victory of Gods people, teh supernatural supply of oil and the re dedication of the temple. If so happens that a couple Bill & Edie had come from temple Yeshua in Victoria and so I was able to have them bring the menorah and a shofar. I have never really been into shofars or any of “that kind” of stuff. I am blessed to be engaging with the Lord on many different levels. Its amazing what surrender and and open heart can do for you in the way of new experiences!
Communion
The following day we enjoyed a powerful time of worship, prayer, declarations and communion. All in all our time was somewhat surreal as we encamped around His presence and purpose drawn together by the Holy Spirit. We are engaged with God and would rather fall flat on our faces reaching for His glorious and dangerous dreams than succeed in carrying out our goofy goals.
Fires are slowly growing & connecting across the island
Just as a note – in the comox valley there has been a very notable increase in salvations, healings, encounters, provisions and other evidences of the Kingdom of God being released. We never want to despise the day of small beginnings but rather be faithful and thankful for what is happening.
