26th Dec – Just returned to Sydney from Singapore to enjoy a Sydney Christmas with turkey at the church; 27th Dec – Had a day of rest; 28th Dec – went with several Sydney church people to the new premises to look into the sound system and other things; 29th Dec and 30th Dec – catch up on some correspondence and church work.
31st Dec – Had a wonderful day of fast and prayer the whole day. Had a few cups of water. At night between 8pm to 12 midnight we had church members came for the prayer watch. Lovely night ending with the communion.
1st January – Open house in Sydney. Had a wonderful fellowship time with Sydney church people as they all came and cooked some meals and played some wii games together. Enjoyed talking about the importance of family and relationships with each person sharing their background. Ended that evening with a long two hour walk along the bushlands.
2nd January – Looking forward to a short trip to Blue mountains (one hour drive) with Amy and Lindy (Canberra intercessor). Have never been there and would look forward to the nature view (talk to the trees and see how they are :-)). Will look forward to coming back and finishing off Fatherly Talk and also all the rest of the correspondence.
I have been meditating on the New year message that is usually delivered on the first preaching at the beginning of the year outlining the year’s outlook. So far the Lord has shown some interesting dreams and visions. One of them that I do not have full understanding yet (takes time for the interpretation) is a dream of islands and an energy oil rig being swallowed by the sea. I have been asking God about the outlook for the year 2010 and this has many possible interpretations and I will speak of them when I have completed analyzing the interpretations from the biblical perspective. I don’t think that they are literal as the time has not yet come for seas levels to be at such levels (although there are visions given long ago from the spiritual world perspective of what the world looks like in the millenium and the borders of land mass are different from what they are today, with much of the sea levels higher than what it is today. All these could be a slow process or a sudden envelopment as I did not see how that took place but only the future existence of land mass). Certainly, in the year 2010 we will see some interesting times – much changes and dramatic shifts – some of them shocking and unexpected while others are predictable. Will be preaching on this in Sydney and Singapore on what we can expect in the year 2010.
Papa God, we thank you for Your goodness to all of us and Your great mercies shown. We continue to pray for all our loved ones, friends and partners in the ministry, students and members of Your church that Your goo
