Paying the Price

We had a powerful intercession time on Saturday morning. Declarations were made and we were storming heaven with our prayers. It was good. We could all sense that God was going to move powerfully in church. The baby was being born, the birthing process was taking place.


On Sunday morning, I could just feel it...the enemy was not happy; there was a battle taking place in the spiritual realm for our church. The angels were fighting for us. Little things took place that made me more aware of the eneemy's unhappiness...the security guard being a little difficult with entry to the uni when it was usually a breeze, there was some tension in the worship team...the battle was on!


But service was awesome! The worship time was powerful! And it led to the release of words of knowledge for healing and people responded! People with left knee cap problem, and there were 2, and both were healed. Sore throat, and she was healed. One leg shorter than the other, and a young lady responded and the young people got thrilled when they saw the leg growing in front of their eyes and Joanne said she felt her leg stretching!


My husband preached a powerful sermon too. And oh, Kwadwo made powerful prophetic declarations. 


There were also testimonies of other past healings. It was a great service!


But I had to face my weakness again in the afternoon. People that did not like me had once again spread lies...horrible...I really don't like being slammed especially when things said are not true. But this is the price I pay for pursuing God without hesitation...I learn to die to self. I learn to press on despite obstacles. I sometimes wonder how other pastors and revivalists do it. You go onto google and type a well known pastor's name and you get the slammers and the likers in your search.


I'm learning not to get discouraged but respond like John Wesley who got worried when no one threw stones at him when he preached. Opposition is always a good thing when we are on the right track with God!


And my conclusion? Keep running. Keep pursuing the Kingdom of God. I'm not going to let up. He has my back covered!

The Dam is Bursting

Something's up. Many of us in church have been feeling it since the start of the year. It was a shaky start. We were starting with smaller numbers because some people had left the country, others were doing a detour from their walk with God...but the leaders, we still had a stirring in our spirit that it was going to be an exciting year ahead.


I was taking the worship team practice on Saturday and gave this analogy: the enemy has been finding ways and means to block the move of God in our church but his efforts are going to be futile very soon. Yes, we've had times when the enemy's attack worked. But very soon, it's going to be impossible for him to stop what God has in store for our church, such a mighty move of God, no one, no thing can stop this revival.


It's like a little hole in the dam wall and the enemy sticks his finger in to stop the water from coming out of the dam wall. But soon the pressure builds up and "boom!" the dam wall breaks open and the water gushes out in torrents! That is going to be the way God moves very very soon!


And it's happening already. We had pastors Peter and Vera Hira minister to us yesterday in church. I kept thanking God for the honor and privilege of knowing these two mighty mighty children of His. Everyone responded to the altar call it was amazing! Hunger and thirst; hunger and thirst; hunger and thirst. And God will fill this hunger and thirst and it will overflow!


And I know, the blind are going to see, the deaf will hear, the lame are going to walk, droves of people are going to be saved and set free!
