When God Speaks

During a recent conference, I grabbed an old notebook to take notes, and realized it was the same journal book I brought to Colorado Springs last Aug. Little did I know it was to be a divine revelation…

The trip was no normal vacation. Well, Allison was to attend a 3-wk course there, after a casual check with the airline, I realized to our great surprise that I have sufficient points for a free ticket there! It was a well needed vacation, long since we were able to afford one that far…but there were lots more..

I remember mtg e HL Core Ldrs @e airport b4 departure, asking for their prayer coverage. HL has reached a point in the ministry that felt like a plateau, & I knew I had 2seek God for direction on what’s next. I brought along a book “The Heart of a Great Pastor”, but has very little idea what I was suppose 2b seeking for. I knew I needed a long overdue personal retreat too…so it was an all-in-1…

After reading the last line “staying until a spiritual breakthrough & a clear-cut release”, I was just awe-struck. I cannot even remember what I read/thought or what was on my mind when I was writing these words. It seems obvious that I had asked God abt how long shd I stay in HL…it didn’t take long for clarity. That Dec at the retreat, God affirmed my gift of tongues that I prayed for so long. Yeah…I know…can’t imagine leading HL in a Spirit-filled ministry & church, even praying for numerous people to receive tongues right… God knew I needed the intellectual breakthrough first…highly recommend “Surprised by the Power of the Spirit”. Thereafter, HL was launched into 2006 in full stride with the HS. Both personal & as a ministry, there were spiritual breakthru…

In fact, shortly after the new appt into RCS that Oct, there were just so many miraculous opening of doors & blessings that where I stand, it is undoubtedly a God-thing! Guess spiritual break-throughs are contagious…cos the Spirit resides not in circumstances or ministry, but in pp…

Within a few mths, it was already so clear both ministries were growing fast, and consequently that I was short-changing both, that I had to choose… This was not unexpected, but probably a little too sudden & soon…but it was clear-cut all right… I thank Him for being so clear as He has always been, and I have to say, only now, that I feel truly, and peacefully released…
