Presbytery

Will need to sit down to listen to the prophecies we received last night and have them transcribed so we can begin to go over what was said and evaluate what God might be telling us - does it fit under the category of encouragement or correction/adjustment or warning or instruction? And naturally, all prophecy needs to be tested and held against the Word of God. God didn't say anything specific about future direction but encouraged us both and addressed questions Fab has been pondering over in his heart for some time now, thoughts he had only mentioned to me. These internationally recognised prophets don't know us from a bar of soap but they're very sharp in bringing forth the message God gives them, be it visions or words of knowledge or wisdom regarding the past, present and sometimes even what is to come. They're very easy going people from what I can tell, and pastoral (very fatherly and motherly so to speak - there were three of them: Prophet John Jacks and his wife Monette from America and John Tiplady from New Zealand, who had a cute accent) with a quirky sense of humour.

There are major decisions to be made for the coming year and God did mention that we will go through a time of stretching as He's leading us to grow to the next level. We'll be losing one of our key leaders in the student group as she returns home to Zambia. This very recent and surprising turn of events has affected quite a number of people as she has been such a beautiful friend, wonderful leader and pillar (not the kind that blocks the view but the sort you really need to hold up the building) in our church. She will be greatly missed for sure but God has marvelous plans for her elsewhere and her soft, obedient heart and determination to serve Him and do all that is necessary to see His kingdom flourish inspires all.

Will be back to update on this
