Faithful, He is always

When I look back at my life and my journey at the House of Prayer which started 2019 until now, I am standing in awe with a thankful heart before Jesus. He has been faithful in little things in my life and big things in my life, He is faithful in His provision, He is a faithful father who looks out for me and who look over me. How marvelous and great is His faithfulness. Sometimes we need to stop in the midst of the busyness and remember His goodness and faithfulness and all the things He had done for us and just worship and honor Him, just once again say “Thank You Jesus for…” A thankful heart changes the way we look at things around us and even in our own life. Sometimes we need to decide to look back on what He has done and thank Him even when we are in the midst of a storm.

40 Day Global Fast

We joined a 40-day global fast that Lou Eagle called. During this fast we prayed for revival and to become closer to Jesus like never before. For me personally, I have done several fasts through the grace of God but this fast that we did, was a challenging time for me, but not in a bad way, in a good day it was challenging. It wasn’t always easy but through the grace that God gave I could have done it. In this time of the 40 days fast, I can feel there is a tenderizing in my heart towards some things, and in this 40 days God created a hunger on the inside of me like never before. In this 40 days God continued to heal parts of me and help me dealt with some stuff in my life. All the glory and the Honor belongs to Jesus, because He is worthy of it all.

IHOPU

Studies

With my studies it is going well. I really enjoy the subject that we are doing. We are currently busy with A Life of Missions- where we learn about missions and how the gospel spread all across the world and there is still so much people groups that have to be reached with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. One thing that I have realized through this course is that Jesus makes a way ALWAYS no matter what people or nations do, He always make a way, always calls another person to take the Gospel and share it to people who have not received it and not only by talking about it but to show the Gospel in power like 1 Thessalonians 1:5 says: “for our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with full conviction…”

Online Ministry Trip

We had an Online Ministry Trip on the 1-11 April. We were students all over the world, those students that joined the online ministry trip were from 50 different countries and from 6 different continents. This was an awesome experience to serve with the Body of Christ all over the world. We partner with 3 different ministries and different Houses of Prayer all over the globe. We had the 1st and the 2nd of April we had training, so the Friday 1st April we had our Launch meeting and Ekballo training. On the 2nd April we had a 4-hour training of the Spirit Café. It was such an awesome experience and privilege to receive this training. I will give a little more information on the ministries and what specific did we do with them during the Ministry trip.

  1. Pray for Tech.

Pray for Tech is a ministry that we partnered with in our Online Ministry Trip. Their heart is to pray for the tech industry and to encourage those Christians who is working in the Tech Industry. We had a time of worship and then we started praying for the tech industry and there were also people joining the zoom call who work in the tech industry, who just wanted to be prayed for and being ministered to prophetically. Some us stayed in them main room praying for the tech industry as a whole, and some of us went into break out rooms with individuals who work in tech industries and we prayed for them and give them prophetic word. I was part of the groups that prayed for the individuals. It was amazing just to feel God’s heart for this people and to realize what a big impact the tech industry has on the world and even those who work in the industry of tech. It was just amazing to be able to be Jesus’ hands and feet. For more info, follow the link to their website: https://www.prayfortech.com/

  1. Spirit Café

Spirit Café is a ministry that we partnered with in our Online Ministry trip. What is the Spirit Café? Spirit Café is a place of encounter. They have in person sessions and then they have online sessions where people can come and receive any treatment. There are different treatments that people can choose from.

  • Spiritual Readings – where you ask Holy Spirit for a prophetic word for them.
  • Dream Interpretation – It is where you listen to Holy Spirit to get insight into a dream, there are specific people in the team of Spirit Café that have gone deeper into it so they usually do the dream interpretations.
  • Physical Healings – It is where we pray for someone who needed physical healing, that Jesus will heal them where they are.
  • Peace Treatments is where we pray for the Spirit of God, who is the Prince of Peace and the source of peace, to fill them where they are with peace that surpasses understanding like the Word promise to us.
  • Spiritual Cleansings is where ask Jesus for forgiveness on things that you have done and forgive those who have sinned against you.

The Spirit Cafe is a place people come who are searching for spiritual encounters. The treatment    teams have been trained and continue to develop their spiritual giftings. We as a student ministry team joined in on their online sessions, we were part of the treatment teams, where the people come and receive their treatment, some of us were part of the social rooms, where you receive the person once they joined in. It was really an amazing experience. All treatments are done through the Holy Spirit. To find more information, please follow the link: https://www.harvestministries.co.uk/spirit-cafe

  1. Ekballo University.

This in another ministry that we partnered with. They share the Gospel of Jesus Christ through the social media to unreached people groups. This is the description of their ministry, Ekballo University is a Christian ministry that leverages technology to help finish the Great Commission. We teach, train, & equip digital evangelists across the 10/40 window to effectively reach the unreached. Prayer is our fuel. Christ is our reward. One of the online tools they use is a cartoon where they share the gospel, follow the link to see the creative way they have to share the Gospel. http://www.freecartoontract.com/are-you-a-good-person-english/

On our Ministry trip with this ministry, we had two parts of ministering. Frist, we did a Virtual Prayer Walk through Myanmar. This was so amazing for me and it was very special to me because as at the House of Prayer we have an intercession set where we pray for the persecuted church and Israel and for the past two years, I joined this session in Prayer leading and for the last two years I had the privilege of leading the prayer time for Myanmar.  The second part of this ministry was that we had to give prophetic words and then type it for the team in Myanmar and they translated it to the people.

We had 6 different Houses of Prayer that we joined in sessions in their prayer room. We had the privilege of the online team joining our House of Prayer in a Bound4Life set at the 6th of April.

Bound4Life

We had the 2nd March our Bound4Life day of Intercession.

Here is the link to the streaming of that intercession set: https://fb.watch/cDAAsuATCn/

We also had a Bound4Life Wednesday the 6th April, where again we had a silent siege at the abortion clinic and a two-hour intercession set where we pray against abortion. With this set we had online students of IHOPU that joined on Zoom, which was part of the Online Ministry trip which I will explain about later.

Brits Outreach

We had an outreach to a school in Brits where we went for the day and ministered to the children. We had a puppet show for the kids from Gr R until Grade 3 where we talked about: “I am special for Jesus.” I was specifically involved at the puppet show and after the puppet show they did an activity and I had a group of 5 Grade 3 children, and the one boy started to ask questions about Jesus, and I answered the questions that he asked and before we finished, the boy said that he wants to accept Jesus into his heart and then the rest of the group also said they want to accept Jesus and all 5 children gave their life to Jesus. All the honor and the glory to Jesus. With the Grade 4 until 7 we did EE3 with the kids, where they memorize scriptures and they do moves with the memorizing. Then we did some worship and share a word with the Gr 8-Gr 12. Marais talked about finding identity in God and not it the world, and how much Jesus loves us.
