Prioritise, Listen, Be Courageous, & Don’t Compromise!

Dear All,

Where does the time go?! I’m presently caught up in the process of re-prioritising my life and work so that I can put my best effort into what God wants from me now. It’s important to know which season we are in so that we can bear the fruit of it. I believe we all have depths of gifting and talent which God wants to explore and tap into, and there are times when we must let go of things we’ve always done and embrace new challenges. There are only so many plates we can spin at once.

For me personally I know I must embrace the ‘author’ within! This will require huge blocks of time and a different headspace - and therein lies the challenge. I am blessed to have a super leadership team who really do ‘take the strain’ of the ministry with me, and this will be an enormous help in the coming months. I would value your prayers.

God is blessing us enormously in response to our keeping sabbath. His favour is evident upon those of us who have approached the boss at work to get Saturdays off to worship. It has been amazing for those who have found the courage to take this stand, even resulting in promotions!

We have been, and are being mocked and questioned of course! But we expected this so were prepared by the grace of God. I heard Apostle Bill Pryor recently preach that we the church are entering the Holy of Holies according to Tabernacle symbolism, and he said this represents Sabbath or Sabbath rest. He also pointed out that the light is different there, being illuminated by God’s glory itself. Much of the church is wanting the ‘glory’ manifestations now.

I feel it’s appropriate therefore to point out that the church is meant to observe and listen to the prophets. God often used, and still uses prophets ‘for a sign’ as well as a voice.

When an internationally significant group of prophets with an apostle at the helm starts to observe God’s LITERAL sabbath, and refuses to bow to Rome’s ’sun-day’ anymore, WHAT IS GOD SAYING?!?

My heart is for God’s people to reject traditions which have caused us to compromise His word. Time is short now. We should question why we always do what we have always done and change accordingly & quickly.

Loving you,

Lynne
