It has been a long time since I blogged :)
This month has been good. I think going to Bible School has been one of my best divisions. Every week I am challenged and I hear God speak through the people teaching. The cell group that I have been going to has also been going well. We have been talking about the prophetic. I see how difficult it is to establish a prophetic culture.
Ideally you need a leader to stand up for the prophetic, and enter the fray of debates. How such a leader will answer all the question will determine what culture is formed. Alas, such a work is too great for me, and I tire of endless debates. I assume that is why a prophet is a gift from God - one having divine grace to handle the work - for it is not a normal man's cup of tea.
One clue I found is that you create a culture by teaching people HOW to do something - not only WHAT to do. There are many teaching about things, but few that go through the step by step details. This is something that the people at Bethel did well.
Bethel... My heart longs to go there, yet it is more a sadness than a desire. Many are returning to 2nd year, and seeing it all on facebook wants me to go there. I can't think to much about Bethel, else I feel like booking a plane ticket and going there for a week. If I had the money, and could shrug my responsibilities, I may have done it.
Oh, our cell has been focusing more on prayer also - one thing that I found makes me come alive. I have also been going to the Sunday prayer meetings, and they have been amazing. In prayer meetings I feel that everything in my life is set aside, making me able to stand freely before God. Yesterday in a prayer meeting I made a drawing of a picture I saw. It felt like I opened up an old familiar well. I am keen to see more of that.
Grahamstown has been cold. A few trees are blooming. Cold fronts and berg winds have been a cycle here. We are on the fourth front in two weeks. I pray spring comes soon. I have had too much winter in my life :)
Otherwise, I have been sending in applications for teaching in the Cape. I may most probably get one (DV). Factors that pulled me to the Cape have been shifting also, so I had to re-evaluate if its the thing I want to do, and that God wants me to do. My hope is still there, and people are still there that I feel have a similar pursuit to me. Maybe that is one of the main factors in the end.
In God we have eternal peace.
