Final Thoughts...

Alas! It's come to an end... Vegas with Lauren Patton, Tahoe, Sacramento, Redding, LA, probably forgetting somewhere in between, but how can a blog a week cover all that we've done? ...I don't know how to.

I'm not going to lie, I'm not even really going to attempt to put down everything we experienced in the last couple of weeks. Let's just say it was RICH. Like a Krispy Kreme donut... you can't have too many in one sitting.

We learned at Bethel Church in Redding about yielding to the Holy Spirit. To beg God to heal someone is to assume we have more mercy than God - it's about letting the Holy Spirit do His work... if we're not seeing results, don't get discouraged, focus on what He has done, and go get some more revelation of God, our Healer. (Thank you Chris Gore and Chris Overstreet).

Shawn Bolz - Expression 58 - bought us lunch and told us stories about transporting in the spirit and the importance of community and understanding tiers of relationship. Maximize. He also brought a great word about our stance with interpreting the times here and coming - we need to be like the men of Issachar who understood the seasons, but have to see through the lens of the Gospel. Our job is to love, and if we don't have love for a place, we need to be careful to prophesy.

Jaeson Ma - author of "The Blueprint" and a church planter - had a Bible study that we attended one of the last nights we were there. It was amazing to see people go after prayer and Bible study the way they did. At the end they prophesied over us, and encouraged the Awaken crew that was present that night.

Sweet times of processing and meeting new friends as well as fellowship with THE Daniel Stedman and co. in Laguna Niegel (as well as other YWAM cameos throughout the week).

Conclusion? ...God is on the move, just like we thought, there is FAITH HOPE and LOVE in action. Everyone should do a perspectives trip across the states... without a doubt it catapulted us into greater intimacy with a really good God.
