Praying for 'mine'!

He then told them a parable on the need for them to pray always and not become discouraged: there was a judge in a certain town who didn't fear God or respect man.
And a widow in that town kept coming to him saying, "give me justice against my adversary!"
For a while he was unwilling, but later he said to himself, "even though I don't God or respect man, yet because this widow keeps pestering me, I will give her justice, so she doesn't wear me out by her persistent coming." Luke 18: 1-5

I love this story, it encourages me. I am constantly banging on heavens doors in prayer, for 'mine'. Now 'mine' is all God has for me.

I have found that I have to be aggressive in prayer as lame prayer just don't get heard. I see myself as a warrior princess determined for 'mine'. Now I don't necessarily know what mine looks like but I have a sense of what it entails. It includes victory, authority, abundance, answers, people, lots of people, lovely people.

My prayers are creating the answer and slicing through the darkness. My prayers are the weapons against the darkness and all that would try to rob me of 'mine'.

Often they are souls I am praying for, forging through impenetrable passes, blasting away obstacles; never willing to succumb, always overcoming.

Today I drove to Glen Innes to see two clients. On the way I had calls from two people who wanted to attend DivorceCare. These are 'mine', people who I can lead to truth and set free.

Today I was grateful for the drive, I am tired and needed time to re-group. Yesterday another 'mine' took place. I launched 'The Longest Yarn'. My project to help old people, empowering them by overcoming obstacles in technology and connecting them with the world again.

Tomorrow night is another 'mine'. I am beginning a women's network to connect women in the workforce and empower them with tools in the workforce. This is relationship building, giving of myself, loving my community.

My heart wants more. I want to reach more people, touch them with the love of Christ, set them free to be more than they were.

This is my passion!

Who Rules?

The princes of Judah are like those who move boundary markers, I will pout out my fury on them like water. Hosea 5:10 World leaders of church and state are now all highly visible. When they are not open to consultation or do not listen they make judgements that are judged as foolish by both God and man. In Australia we just celebrated Australia Day and at this time various people are honoured for their contribution to society. Our Prime Minister, Mr Abbott, without consultation, conferred a knighthood on the Queen of England's husband, Phillip. Almost to a person, Australians judged this to be foolish. Even supporters have now distanced themselves. Imagine what it is like when church leaders follow their own emotions or the emotions of their people and change what is acceptable to God. For example, no longer considering adultery something that precludes a man from ministry. We might think we are clever, but actually going with a sinful flow. Where is God in all this? My emotions ar...

Know Your Sword!

So he took Him to Jerusalem, had Him stand on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, "if you are the Son of God, throw Yourself down from here. For it is written: 'He will give His angels orders concerning You, to protect you, they will support You with their hands, so that you will not strike Your foot against a stone.' And Jesus answered him, "it is said: 'do not test The Lord your God." And the Devil had finished every temptation, he departed from Him for a time. Luke 4:9-11 In this third test Satan quoted scripture but Jesus knew His scripture and was not going to be deceived by his enemy twisting the truth. I am amazed at what Satan tempted Jesus with. He did not know Christ. He had succeeded in tempting the first Adam yet he was thwarted in this attempt. Jesus had lived 30 years and been tutored in godliness with contentment, he was prepared, baptised in the Spirit and sold out to the Father's purpose. Every time our enemy comes against us we ...

Little Things Grow

The boy's mother said to Elisha, "as The Lord lives and you yourself live, I will not leave you. So he got up and followed her. 2 Kings 4:30 The Shunamite woman had travelled to Mt Carmel to find Elisha after the death of her son. Although Elisha had sent his servant Gehazi to the boy with his staff the woman had come to find Elisha and was not leaving without him. I like this lady's spirit. I am sure The Lord God Almighty also valued her heart. She had a heart for God and made room for Him in her world. Now, having lost her son she knew what to do: find Elisha and not let him go until he came to restore her son. What made the Shunamite woman believe that Elisha could raise her son? Was it the same faith that made her provide him a place to stay in her home? I believe it was God working in her life. I am grateful for her faith, I can read and be encouraged. We do not know her name yet her story lives in scripture. What a little thing it was to feed Elisha and then provide ...
