We have had a fruitful year with the various groups and individuals that have joined us in fellowship and worship. Every one bringing their unique frequency from the Father which has been good training for us. No visit is the same, but all are special. We feel very privileged and blessed receiving our visitors. Thank you to all of you who have come!
At the beginning of this year our expectation was to finish the building this year. We had a healthy bank balance and ordered some large projects using the money to pay the deposits. These projects would be realised by the summer. As each project was completed, we saw wonderful “just in time” provisions of finances.
In May, we were in the UK. I (Cathy) was there for over 2 weeks visiting my mother and Mark joined me for a few days in the middle. On taking Mark to the airport, every traffic light turned red. Having dropped Mark off, red lights continued to plague my journey. At one light, waiting for it to turn green, I asked, “Lord are You trying to speak to me through these lights?”. My head turned to the right and there parked on the other side of the road was a white car with the word “RED” painted in huge red letters on its side. Sometime later Mark had a dream. He’s in a car with Jesus and the traffic light in front of him is red.
In July we saw the last of our planned projects completed and once the final bill was paid the bank balance was zero. We still have some large projects to complete, and we are pushing forward as much as we can, but there is a feeling of being slowed down, like Autumn. Father’s hand is still covering us. He knows. He provides.
In winter when nature has gone to sleep, it’s like everything freezes, everything stops. However, it doesn’t stay like that for long. Even before anything sprouts or buds, a lot is happening underground, inside the plants, deep inside the hidden places. All of this is essential for new growth, new times, new life.
I am reminded again of our seven years praying from Krakow for this place. It looked as if nothing was happening during that time, but actually, when nothing is happening in the seen world, it is often happening in the unseen world, which of course is the eternal, spiritual world. And then when the time is right, all that has been happening in the unseen, bursts forth in a “suddenly” moment, and we see it manifest on the earth!
We can imagine people are asking, “Why is the building not finished yet?”. We too ask this question. We purchased the land for the Prayer House in July 2016. We are now in the seventh year of owning the land. Is this a Sabbatical year? It’s like Father has slowed us down for a season. We are at peace. I sit in the Prayer Room. His peace, His stillness invades me, and I think not much is happening… but actually… everything is happening!
