What God has been speaking to me: - in the beginning of the term I asked god what about term four and he dropped me this word - restoration. And I'm like, wow that sounds like a good thing but right after - i found myself hitting a rock and just felt like i was back at my old self facing all the different fears and insecurites that i thought was over. And I realize that actually those are wounds that have been dried, but are still there because i never really dealt with properly and God just wants to remove and uproot it because it does not belong there. I realised I've foolishly looked at the effects of restoration but not the process of it - where I kept questioning what is happening and recently God dropped me Jeremiah 33 and in the verse it says "I will heal all the wounds and restore the fortunes " this is where I am - healing and the past two weeks has been the hardest season of my journey since I came to KC - and I honestly felt like quitting KLA - I felt li...

Psalm 37 - Keep trusting in the Lord and do what is right in his eyes. Fix your heart on the promises of God and you will become secure, feeding on his faithfulness. Make God the utmost delight and pleasure of your life, and he will provide for you what you desire the most. Give god the right to direct your life and as you trust him along the way, you'll find he pulled it off perfectly. - never abandon god. always fear - you are so afraid of living with him is the kind of fear we should have that drives us to want to have him in our life. ...

KLA MISSIONS LOG: KL & BALI
DAY 1: PRAYER & PROPHECY Acts 2:7 1 " In the last days, God says, 'I will pour out my Spirit upon all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams.'" Testimony of prayer and prophesy: We were asked to pray, speak and prophecy for the person we were praying for. My partner was Claire Overbye from Perth - and I remembered the prayers were quite specific to the season I was and brought back to memory of what Dr. Mike prophesied over my life - especially the part of witnessing a breakthrough in my own families and being a torchlight to the people around me.
