Mission Intercession

Hello everyone, I felt from the Lord that there are a number of people who are part of our wonderful team who are really going through it at the moment. Feelings of inadequacy, feeling down, tired, ill, anxious and as one person put it, under attack.

The Lord placed it on my heart to write down the ‘Proclamation’ which Tracee Anne Loosle makes at the end of the mission intercession video. So that is what I have done and it's below for you to use.

God has a specific journey for each of us, to prepare us to become like Jesus. Whatever the circumstances seem like, it is a perfect pathway for God to perfectly prepare us and in the process we fall in love with Him. He is perfectly preparing each one of us for who we are becoming. He has set it in place that we live in this generation ‘for such a time as this’. Each and every one of us has been chosen by Him to be on this team, we all have a special part to play and for each of us it is another step in our preparation and our amazing journey with Him.

Be blessed with much love in Christ
Michèle

Proclamation
We are an overcoming worshiping warrior bride called to the Lord’s side in the end time army. Great grace is poured out upon us as we humble ourselves before the Lord. We seek the Lord first in all things and keep our eyes fixed on Him. As we pursue God’s kingdom purposes first, we chose the Lord’s will and not our own. We recognise our need of a Saviour and fall upon the Lord Jesus. We recognise that we are bondservants of the Lord and chose to die daily to all areas of selfishness, pride, arrogance, self seeking, self promotion or anything not rooted and grounded in the love of God. Our hearts purpose is to follow the Father’s heart in all we do, in all we say and in all we pray. We rest in the Lord and trust in His ways, leaning to Him in every situation. There is more than enough do to all that the Lord has called us to do, we have no lack. By faith, through the blood of Jesus Christ, we have access to heaven whereof an abundance of every resource is available when we need it. For God has promised to supply all our needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus. We release heaven on earth, as Jesus taught us to pray to the Father, from our position seated with Christ in heavenly places. We yield to Holy Spirit daily to be filled with His life, breath, power and fire. We have faith in God and believe the promises of God. We will contend for His bride to come into these promises. We are extravagant, radical worshippers, who love to love God. We will not allow doubt, unbelief or negativity to dwell in our hearts. We are called to pour ourselves out from a place of rest, to be a blessing to the body of Christ. This is our joy and our privilege. We give thanks in all things and chose to rejoice in the Lord always. We know that God is good and will not believe any other voice that would try to pull us away from the sprint of truth. We know that God’s glory is His loving kindness, grace and favour which He gives us freely. He is relentless in revealing His truth to us and we are captivated by His gaze, resting in His love. We are sealed in the holy fire of God’s love, set apart fro Him and completely devoted to Him. Nothing can separate us from His love, as we abide in Christ Jesus and He abides in us. In Him we have faith, hope and love which remain forever and ever. Amen

Thanks, David

Thank you for setting this up. Our group is awesome. The Lord is already working with our group in such a powerful way. I appreciate how much everyone has jumped right in here to get to know one another and to share their experiences. John and I lived in Brazil about 35 years ago (okay, I just gave away that we are really old) and we loved the country and the people very much. I wish that I could say that we went their as missionaries, but we were not Spirit-filled Christians at that time. So, we are very excited to go back with the Lord as our tour guide. What an awesome perspective we will have this time! Thanks again, David. May the Lord continue to bless you with inspirations like this. Phenie

Welcome fellow Brazil bound brothers and sisters!

I've set up this blog as a place for people to get to know each other and dialogue and pray and encourage. Someone from the email stream suggested starting something like this, so here it is. Enjoy! Look forward getting to know you all and meet and minister with you all in Brazil!
