colour

i went to the colour conference for the 1st time in years.  It was as inspiring as i remember.  But more importantly it was moving forward.  Conferences are almost for newbies cos they are about motivating us.  So colour has lots of girlie stuff, gifts, pampering, etc.  But it has more of a plan now on how we can as God's girls impact our world.  Very real causes that we can as one army of prayering warrior women put our hands to.  See the progress, expect more, pray for more, and change lives of those less privileged then us.  It's like we are really getting it...that God's heart is our heart.

I love Bobbie Houston.  She is compelled to act on whatever the LORD lays on her heart.  She has all these resources but they all mean nothing if it wasn't for God's spirit working in her.  He blesses the fruit of her hand and motivates women at these conferences to act with her.  To help stop trafficking of women and children, to fight for God's children stuck in poverty and affiction, to make Jer 29:11 true for more than just herself but for neighbours.  And she unites us all to do the same.

For me, unity is the key.  Imagine if we didn't just meet together but ACTED together.  As God's army taking back what belongs to him.   John 17 was life transforming for me. It's when Jesus prayed for us.  Here he was about to die but he prayed for us - it was more important to him to say these words to be recorded and passed down from one generation to another! He needed us know we must unite as ONE.

My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.  (John 17:20,21)
