Merry Christmas

“May your holidays be filled with the love and joy of Christ over you.” (Zeph. 3:17) 

Staff Highlight

At the end of this year I would like to highlight and bring to the forefront a gift that has been given to this team.  Some call her Bek, some Bekah, some little squirt, but she is one in whom we have found encouragement and a smile to warm up our day. She is a woman of wisdom beyond her years with a fiery spirit that is frightening at times due to her zeal for the glory of the name of God and love for her Beloved. She has been seen with great courage and strength in going after and through situations and opportunities that some would shrink back in fear for. Though see may be seen as a little sister to us on the team she is a true friend and a leader for love and devotion to the Lord in this generation. She is truly a gift the Lord has given to those who know her and especially to our family in 7 Thunders.

 Chicago Trip

This last ministry trip to the Chicago/Milwaukee area was very impacting as Kirk and the team taught, preached, and worshiped with a zeal for righteousness and holiness out of hearts in love with the Man Christ Jesus. Since our Furnace Prayer Team has been meditating on the Lord’s love for righteousness (Ps. 11:7) we all have been burning with desire to understand it and with a desire to release this same love that God has for it into a people. To our great delight and by a confirmation of the Holy Spirit for our team the Lord had already ignited a flame in the Chicago House of Prayer called The Furnace for righteousness to be released in our land and through a people lovesick for God and His name. As we released our hearts in our own ways for this, several times the room was just struck as the Lord gave the gift of tears, weeping, mourning, and joining with His very own heart for righteousness. 

This year for the One Thing conference our team along with the Furnace Prayer Team in gearing up to serve, serve, serve. To pour ourselves out for the 15,000 young and old through roaming prophecy teams, worship in the prayer room, worship in the overflow rooms, and various other jobs in order to help impact the lives of everyone around us. There are many attending who have come before and desire a deep encounter with the Lord, a refreshing from His presence upon their hearts, to gather with others who are likeminded, and some who just didn’t have anything else to do this winter. We as a team and missions base are praying Jer. 32:38-42 and Jer. 33:3, 6-11 over this solemn assembly. That the Lord would give them the gift of the fear of the Lord that they would never depart from Him, that He would do great and mighty things in relation to revealing His might and strength, His love to be made know to their hearts, and for them to go back to their cities burning to raise up prayer in their lives and their city. We desire this army to be moved supernaturally into radical lives of holiness unto the Lord with prayer, fasting, weeping, and mourning (Joel 2:12-17). We ask that you join with us in this prayer for the 15,000 that will be attending this conference and for this generation as a whole.
