BEFORE THE THRONE: A REPORT OF SORTS!
I would like to honour and thank:
- God for His faithfulness to me, to
the vision, to ensuring that all the strands were outworked.
- My team, who prayed for weeks leading up to the
event, fasted 7 days early Sept and were in attendance as much as they could be; especially David and Frances who helped me
cover the night watch.
- All those who committed to a two hour slot and gathered others to come.
Especially I honour the two or three who tried all sorts of ways to gather others with no success, but who came anyway.
- Those
who saw a gap and volunteered to fill it, especially Elinor who came 4-6am daily, Debbie who filled two slots, and Juanita
who filled two worship slots.
- Those who declared the scriptures in another language providing those present with an experience of
every nation, tribe, people and language gathered around the throne. The Mandarin Church brought 50 of
their congregation, primarily youth, at 10pm.
- The individuals and teams who worshipped
for two hours, leading us into a greater revelation of God, an intensifying of His Presence, and preparing the way for the
Mountain Meetings. The final session on Saturday night was very special. God came down.
- Those
present each evening for the Mountain Meetings, for the way they grasped the concept of the 7 mountains, declared the three
declarations, and prayed for those involved in each mountain, each sphere of influence in life in Hamilton.
- The
pastors who came. I am so grateful for your insights, your encouragement, the way you under girded what
was happening, especially Mark who allowed us to use the facilities and who attended each evening, Bruce who popped in several
times and Dennis who came at 2am.
- All those who prayed at home, who encouraged me in various ways, who gave financially.
We have just enough to cover costs.
- Those who came from Auckland, Tauranga, Te Aroha and Coromandel to be a part for
a while.
We began midnight Sunday 27th by blowing the shofar. One
aspect of the shofar is to announcing that a certain man is king. We announced Jesus is King.
We prophetically
rolled out the river of God (a long roll of blue material) from the throne we had set up, to the map of Hamilton.
The first
three chapters of Genesis were read in Maori, and Maori called back to the Word of God.
The Church Mountain declarations were spoken out
in preparation for the other six mountains.
There is a transition occurring from the Church Age to the Kingdom Age.
Before the six days were even half way through I
felt totally washed in the word of God. The almost continuous reading aloud of the scriptures seemed to
fill the atmosphere of the building. Several people commented on arriving that they felt the Presence as
they entered. This was an answer to prayer.
During the six days the New Testament was read through twice, there were was much prayer, plenty of
the prophetic to stimulate our ‘right brain’, and lots of worship.
Every 24 hours the focus was on a different mountain in this order: church, family, education, media,
business, government and art/celebration.
Attendance at each evening meeting was far less than I had expected.
But God reprimanded me somewhat for looking at numbers. He was looking for His ‘SAS Team’
for the evening, and those present were it!!
There were long sheets of paper with words, pictures and stories about each mountain to act as prayer
prompts.
As part of the final two hours
we prophetically ‘washed’ these long sheets representing each mountain, in the ‘river of life’, rolled
them up in a scroll, tied them with French knitting (from the Abortion Prayer Room October 2009) representing the DNA being
intertwined through out each mountain as God recreates them anew. The scrolls were placed on the throne
for God to act upon in His timing and in His way.
Please pray for God to reveal the next step in this process of prayer to bring the Kingdom
of God to Hamilton. Pray for hearts to be fully committed.
Thank you
for the part you played in the 6 days, an event as part of the overall process. Blessings, Sue
