A Quick Thank you for everyone who prayed and supported me through this past weekend’s retreat, which went pretty good actually.

Its interesting, going into my shall we say ‘first’ speaking engagement, felt a lot of peace from God and though I wasn’t fully sure exactly what to say, just felt that confidence of His Presence and His Sovereignty in every word that I said. Kinda interesting just being in the ‘flow’ of His Spirit — and letting what he has taught me come out of the overflow of where His Spirit leads me to in my mind/neural networks of ideas / concepts.

Over the past few days of rest, I find my mind constantly going back to my sermon and realizing I missed this segment, or that segment — and through just some time with God, just realizing that in preaching in spoken conversation — its ok to not get every little point in, but maybe certain concepts / points God wants to delay or reveal later on. I was thinking about Jesus and his sermons which are comprised mostly (if not all?) of parables, where He says the basic idea, but it is the Holy Spirit that reveals the deeper things of God to those who are hungry, to those who genuinely sincerely seek the Kingdom of God.

So sort of a different angle I guess — than the usual “must get every point down” approach, much more free flow. Kinda fun preaching and sharing those things which God has lain on my heart for so long… and hearing how it inspires my fellow brothers and sisters.. kinda encouraging.

I was soaking in Psalm 139 over the weekend — and trying to learn that God truly is everywhere, and I can go to the heavens, or the depths of sheol and still His presence is there — His hand ever sustaining and protecting me.

So cheers to obedience, God is breaking strongholds which I would never have thought would be broken. I remember when I was younger I was showering and wondering what I wanted to do when I grew up. I thought of Pastor and shunned the idea because of the public speaking, and made an inner vow to God I’d be anything but that — So kinda fun to see that breaking off, and learning to trust God in this area a bit more too ~

*cheers*

Learning to obey in the specific things - e.g. go and spea, and rely on God for revelation, breakthrough, words, success.
