Everyone must be wanting to know what is happening in this period of one week silence. Well, firstly there were so many things to catch up here in Sydney after the 18 day trip to Singapore. Secondly, I have to also take time to finish my assignments for my trip this morning to Canberra – will take until the end of 2010 to finish the ACU course of which Logos Bible School course 7 is linked to. We have made good progress for course 7 leadership online training research program which will be launched on January 4th next year. It will have ten modules and last until around June 2010. It is a free course which we hope that students from all over the world can participate for us to take surveys to see what best suit them through this test modules.
In the meantime, a lot has happened spiritually. Sometimes spiritual things are to be experienced more than to be explained. There has been wonderful experiences in the Friday all night, which Jesus visited during the last hour of prayer. I thought of writing on this after the experience but it was still too fresh and sacred to write about – need time to digest first before one can put into words with the understanding. The Lord as always has been teaching on various things of the Spirit and it has taken me time to digest and during the time of meditation and digesting, it is very hard to write as one still ‘recovers’ from the experiences. Also I am still getting use to the schedule of being away from Sydney for a longer span and it takes time to settle into a writing flow with the break in between the writing. I am sure that I will get into the swing of it soon but it is taking me mentally more time to adjust than physically. Each country has a different flow and different spirit about it and being sensitive to spiritual realms takes time to tap on the various lights and river flows of the Holy Spirit to each country. Once I have adjusted and settled in fully into both Singapore and Sydney, it will flow easier. Now there is still too much of a sense of packing and unpacking every other week. The other thing is that although I do desire to help people as much as possible every where I go, there is a need sometimes for me to just withdraw from everything and just be with God to soak in His presence. I did have a nice refreshing time away from everything and just soak into God as much as I can without having to give out. My simple heart just wants to be simply with God and enjoy His presence without any other thing occupying the mind. It is a different thing to schedule a time with God as to just be with God and let Him take His time and we take our time in God. It becomes true fellowship with God with nothing else on schedule.
I continue to be amazed by the things of the Spiritual realm. So much to know and so much to see. The invisible world is more busy and active than even the ‘busyness’ of the physical world. Sometimes, with the permission of God the Father, I am allowed to over hear conversations of the Spiritual realm like Daniel was allowed to do so in Daniel 8:13. There is definitely going to be a spiritual paradigm shift that is occuring in this decade (2006-2016). There are humans here and there who seem to sense it (Christians and non-Christians) but there are many who keep thinking in their minds that everything will go back to normal like they knew it ten or twenty years ago or more. Things will not be the same any more in the world. There is a seismic shift of power, economy, spiritual forces that usually results in the changing of authorities and powers into different hands and vessels. I can see some in the spiritual world preparing for those who will die and enter the spiritual world within this decade. These are world leaders and also spiritual church leaders. Some of these do not know their own time is at hand. At the same time, there are angels working along side powers in waiting like the angel Gabriel left alone with the princes of Persia (Daniel 10:13) and who fought against the spiritual forces of Persia both before coming to Daniel and after (Daniel 10:13, 20). Part of the work of Gabriel was preparing the way for the prince of Greece (Daniel 10:20). There are mighty angelic forces at work in these times of changing of powers and authorities on the planet earth. The overflowing waves or changes are going to affect the planet earth politically, economically and spiritually. It is amazing to see how the dark forces are relunctantly but forcibly made to move away from one section of the earth to another; and also to see the various areas of light and revelation that God brings to people and nations with each change. And all these in accordance to the predestination of God the Father.
There are those who continue to resist the Spirit of God while others are pliable and broken in spirit before Him. In the end, all would have to humble before God for only humility will allow us to flow into the perfect Will of God. We must also be contented where God has place us yet be willing to flow into new things that He has set before us. Without contentment, there is no rest and this rest is necessary so that people do not move into things just because of their own desires. There is a need for humility as it takes the grace that comes through humility to bend our knees and hearts and minds before our God. God’s Will will always be done on the earth as it is in heaven and when our free will lines up with His, a powerful force is released within us to accomplish more than what we can do individuals. The power of His Spirit is available to all who yield to Him.
Papa God, we continue to pray for all our loved ones that You would fill with Your Spirit all our loved ones, friends and partners in the ministry, students and members of Your church such that there is no room for any thing else but the fulln
Find your descriptions of the spiritual world and “seismic activity” to be provocative. Have always seen certain locations in the states, specifically Colorado Springs to be like a spiritual fault-lines where two opposing forces form pseudo “techtonic plates.” It is here, then, where you can observe the clash spill over into the natural as exemplified by the strong Kingdom presence there (Focus on the Family/Family Research Counsel/World Prayer Center/ Navigators), and the standard the enemy tries to raise against it (origin of gay rights legislation and other liberal platforms). It also seems easier to become battlefield casualties in these areas. I pray for you, your ministry and family… great blessing! Sandra
