Moving
As we are transitioning to
South Carolina
within the next month, November has been filled with
packing and preparing. Also as we are getting closer to
our moving date, the excitement is growing. We believe
that we are stepping into God’s vision for healing a
wound of the church in our nation in context to the land
we will be on. Our date for moving is December 14th.
IHOP will have a prayer and offering send off for us on
December 13th. There are about 50-70 of us
moving. With all that that entails, getting situated and
actually starting the House of Prayer, it’s going to
be a swirl, so please pray for us.
Meditation
Every
week we do 2 days of meditation for 4 hours in the
prayer room. We believe this is key for understanding
and going deeper in the word. What we do is we have one
verse that we will meditate on for about 3-4 weeks at a
time. We have meetings before and after meditation times
to share what we have received from the Lord. Right now
we are meditating on Zechariah 9:11.
“As for you also, because of the blood of your covenant, I
will set free your captives from the waterless pit.”
Zechariah 9:11
Insight
from one of our team members:
Because
of the Blood...
It
is all about the blood!
The blood was shed for the remission of sins so
that we now can have access to the Father.
It is what covers us and brings us into sonship.
I believe is it only by the blood that we can be
delivered from the spirit of bondage to fear and receive
the spirit of adoption by whom we cry out "Abba,
Father." (Rom.8) The Lord is saying that because of
the blood covenant of His Son Jesus, He will set us free
from fear that hinders us from coming into liberty as
sons of God and coheirs with Christ!
He wants our liberty more than we do, so let's
enter into it by faith! –Luke Ahrenholtz-
Trips
From
November 18-20, a team from 7 Thunders went to
Council Bluffs
,
IA.
Here is a report from one of the team members who
went on the trip:
Two
words could best describe our ministry trip in council
bluff: Intense Hunger. The people who attended the
conference and the House of prayer were burning with
passion to receive all that God had in store for them.
The 7 Thunders team prophesied to 180 people in 8hrs and
people’s lives where touched. Kirk released the word
of the Lord in the meetings and we had great ministry
times at the end of the services. We believe God
has great things in store for
Council Bluffs
and we were excited to partner with them.
