Hi friends!Oh my!! A lot has happened since my last post, but I'll give a short update on events leading up to this Israel trip.While I was in Texas last year from October to December 2010, (at The School of Worship, YWAM), I received a number of words from different people regarding Israel. It was a bit of a shock to me, as Israel had really not been on my "radar" or on my list of top 10 places

Recently I came across this old prayer that was printed in 1904 from a magazine called "Old Time Religion". The author is unknown. God thou art in great favor of revival. Thou art now stirring up the sainthood to pray for what you favor. Our every other need sinks into insignificance compared to the need of deep and widespread old time revival. God send us a revival that will turn the people

Greetings friends! It's been some time since I have blogged and for good reason. As some of you may not know, I was in Texas at a School of Worship from the end of September 2010 until December 18th, 2010. You can read a little about my experiences there a few blogs earlier. Since coming home, we have had so much activity, particularly with Christmas on the way that I have had to take time

Well, from the first day I touched down at the Tyler airport, I felt welcomed in this place. I don't know how to explain it other than it was meant to be :)For the past two years, there has been a real stirring in my heart to go deeper in my relationship with the Lord, particularly in this thing we call "worship". I already knew that it is so much more to worship than music, but I wanted to be "

Our last day here, we went to lunch at pasta place with Julie and Piet, had the best minestrone soup ever. Then Karen and I went for a walk down the beach and also to do some shopping in the town. Closing Remarks:Before leaving Cindy told us:“to whom much is given, much is required”. We come home with much to process believing in some small way, that the oil we bring back (handed out at the

This day Julie woke us up at 7am as we were heading out to Cape Agalus for prayer assignment – 2 hour ride.On the way there, there were many wonderful sights! The first thing we noticed was a ring around the sun (sundog) a sign of change. We brought this to Julie’s attention as she had not seen one before..“Open wide the gates and lift up the doors” Here we were, we were given time and space to

Day off! :)We walked into Gordons Bay and took some pictures around the harbour.This town is home to a naval base. Their ‘business’ is fighting at sea, their ‘mission’ is to win at sea, and their ‘vision’ is to be unchallenged at sea. This is a good reminder that we are in a spiritual battle. Cathy liked the view here, and Karen especially loved the trees: The language here is a specific one

Our gracious driver, David, picked us up promptly at 9am to drive us to Gordon’s Bay (about an hours drive away). For security reasons, David wanted us to ride with him rather than have us taking the bus. As a result, he offered to match the bus prices by giving us 50% off his normal rate. On our way, David pointed out and explained some history about the townships. Mostly, these are transient

This year, it was noted that there was a convergence of traditions between the Eastern Orthodox celebration of Pentecost and the Western celebration of Pentecost. In recognition of this, Karen and I started the morning off with praying together and saying the kneeling prayers together on our knees. There were three distinct prayers that we prayed.

::Praying On Top of the Lion's Head:: So, we asked people: "How long does it take to climb up? - "oh" they said, "it will only be one hour up, and if no picnic on the top, less than one hour down - two hours easy"---------------"Perfect!", we said.David, the best taxi driver in the world, dropped us off at the base of the Lion's Head hike at 10:30 am and we got ready for the climb.

Today is a day off and we are going on a prayer hike up to "Lion's Head" in preparation for tomorrow. First a bit of history. The Global Day of Prayer was birthed in the heart of a man named Graham Powers when he was a 'nominal Christian' only 11 years ago. He was given vision from the Lord that Africa would be a light to the world, even though it was known as a place of great spritual darkness.

We arrived at the Convention Centre at 7:30 am this morning with David, our trust taxi driver. David is from East Cape, is 65 years old, and has lived through the apartheid years through the abolishment 15 years ago. He has a great knowledge of history and people and he attends a Methodist Church. We are not sure about his walk with God, so please pray for David that the Lord will become even

Our faithful taxi driver, David, was waiting for us again, bright and early at 7am this morning. The weather was gorgeous!When we arrived at the convention centre, we had our first real breakfast since arriving. Yummy! We had scones, cheese, lots of butter and jam - and also a type of bacon, scrambled eggs, potatoes, and toast.Afterwards we headed to the first plenary session where each speaker

Our taxi driver, David, picked us up bright and early this morning and took us down to the waterfront. It was a spectacular day with not a cloud in the sky - sunny and warm. We decided to sit outside and enjoy a muffin and coffee before starting our touristy explorations. Our first conference time wasnt beginning until 6pm so we had most of the day.As we were drinking our coffee and enjoying the

We are now on African soil! This is a first for both Karen and I. The air, the land, the people - one word: AMAZING!! Already its been so worth the 40+ hours it took to get here. In spite of the time delays, our actual flights and the people we met along the way were fabulous. Our wonderful host, Tracey, picked us up from the airport and took us to her home that has a B & B suite. All I can

This week is looking to be a busy one. Besides all the physical preparation, there is an inner preparation that is far more important. There is a posture of hearing, seeking, pressing into, and discovery - we're on a mission and we need the wisdom and strategies of the Holy Spirit in order to carry it out. There are definate clue words that are already being revealed and we know as we continue

Up until last week, it looked like we were not going which we were fine with but then something shifted and everything has come together in the last two days....here is the order of events========For

God is changing the Church, and that, in turn, will change the world. Millions of Christians around the world are aware of an imminent reformation of global proportions. They say, in effect: "Church as we know it is preventing Church as God wants it." A growing number of them are surprisingly hearing God say the very same things. There is a collective new awareness of age-old revelations, a

Wow, its been an epic few weeks..and just getting a breather now. After the Ring of Fire Prayer Tour back in October of 2009 (see postings below) we prayed to the Lord, "What's next?" Well the Lord was already working on the next step using a trip to the National House of Prayer last March to spark a whole sequence of events and contacts to make the Keats Island International

Well, it's almost officially the end of January 2010 and since our prayer tour in October, Karen and I had been praying for the next step. As you may recall, Richard and Terry Long from National House of Prayer came from Ottawa to our church for a commissioning of sorts before our prayer tour. While they were with us, they were introduced to Greg who is the director of Keats Camps (where Karen's

Hi everyone! We've been back from our tour now for about a week. Its been a challenge to come back and not lose what we gained on a personal level during our trip. There is a level of rest and initmacy with the Lord that we keep pressing into.So many people have asked us how the Ring of Fire Prayer Tour went and its been hard for us to really describe. So many things happened on so many different

So the most common questions we've been asked since coming back from the Ring of Fire Prayer Tour are: "Is there a next step?" and "Do you have the next step?"Our heart of course is to have a House of Prayer/Worship here in Gibsons. It would be a place of Shalom, a place of rest - a dwelling place for the Lord - a place where heaven touches earth. What that is to look like in the natural is yet

The Word declares:“Say not thou, what is the cause that the former days were better than these? For you do not enquire wisely concerning this.” Ecclesiastes 7:10People Question:“If this is the move of God, then why was it so much ‘better’ before this?

We're here back home in the gateway to the Sunshine Coast, Gibsons BC. Prayer: Lord you are the one that searches minds and hearts and tests every man's motive. We know that what you want from us is truth in the innermost part, and a hunger and thirst for righteousness and holiness. We invite you, Holy Spirit, to be our searchlight, to probe every area of our hearts and minds to see if there be

Well here we are on our trip back on the ferry to earls cove from saltery bay. What a beautiful afternoon..totally sunny. As I write this we are the first on the ferry overlooking the whole area, the best view on board! WOW! So this morning we went to Powell River to pray by the water. On the way there we saw a couple of eagles perched on a very dead tree. This is the second day in a row we had

We arrived in Powell River at noon yesterday and drove to Kelly Creek Community Church, where we were warmly greeted by our friends, Dietmar, Patricia and daughter Tracey! (picture coming soon)It was a hard day yesterday. Lots of frustrations, annoyances particularly with media: camera not working, frozen mp3, uncooperative computer - lots of opportunites for the flesh to rise up. But its ok now,

I believe in the power of intercessory prayer - particulary of those that have the heart of David.Psalm 108 reads as follows from the Oxford Annotated Bible: My heart is steadfast,O God, my heart is steadfast;I will sing and make melody,Awake of my soulAwake oh harp and lyre!I will awake the dawn.I will give thanks to you, O Lord,Among the peoples,And I will sing praises to you,Among the nations,

Since Nanaimo was one of the original 7 cities, we thought it was important to make a prayer-stop there, so this morning before heading to Parksville, we headed down to the waterfront. It was a beautiful day in the neighbourhood (haha) and we walked out on the fisherman's pier. It was rather interesting, as there were a number of street people on the pier, visiting with each other. We went to

Yesterday we packed up from Victoria and took in a conference session at a church in Victoria. Lots to glean from that. Here are a few quotes: "Favour is a lifestyle - God's favour is a process of becoming more Christlike, loving God in the moment and finding His purposes", "Favour relentlessly concentrates on the goodness of God" and "Whatever God is, He is it relentlessly; relentlessly good,

We immediately went to a coffee shop to relax and get online to post updates, send emails, etc. We needed to find a spot for our tent the next day and wanted to try making some more connections. We had been given a few names from Richard Long of National House of Prayer.Sitting in the coffee shop, a young lady started up a conversation which

Hello to everyone from Karen and I from the beginnings of the Ring of Fire 24-7 Prayer Tour as we embark on the ferry to Victoria. Just wanted to give you a brief synopsis of our time in Vancouver.The Lord has already done more than we could have possibly imagined. Our location in Vancouver turned out to be The Salvation Army building in East Vancouver on Commercial and 1st ave.They were amazing

Well today is the day we are packing up! Just want to fill you in on our day yesterday. Our church leadership commissioned us, and we were prayed over by our friends Richard and Terry Long from the National House of Prayer and our co-prayer partner, Daria Tomiuk from 24-7 Prayer Canada. It was a very powerful and humbling time for us, as we were encouraged, supported, and "sent out". I guess I

I was thinking about the Prayer Tour today and wondering how it sounds to people when we try to explain it. To some, it might sound like a silly idea. I even find myself saying, "Self, what in the world do you think you're doing? You're just a nobody. What difference will this make? You're weird and this is all absurd." Then, I was reminded of this verse - I think I like it in the Message verson:

When we first began to conceptualize the prayer tour, it was from a very practical desire to see houses of prayer birthed in Gibsons and in all 7 locations we are visiting. (See our first posting 6 posts below called Ring of Fire Prayer Tour for the schedule or go here: http://cbccathy.blogspot.com/2009/09/ring-of-fire-24-7-prayer-tour.html)But the more we pressed into it, processed and prayed,

It's been a busy day of shopping mostly. We finally got our tent..after a first try with one that we had to take back. It's funny because I suspected all along which one to get (due to a word in a dream I had last night - the word "roots"), but I chose the cheaper one anyway, and then we just wasted time having to go back later and buy the other one..the ROOTS tent (didnt even know they made

Hi everyone, just thought I'd try out this video cam. For those of you who know me, I'm not much of a tekkie person - neither am I a natural behind the camera. We are both pretty green at this so you'll have to excuse us! I did include a couple of bloopers just for your viewing pleasure ;) Apologies for the noisy background..I'm learning as I go....

As part of the preparation, Karen and I have been led to a book by Graham Cooke called Crafted Prayer. In it he says,"The time has come for a new way of prayer. Paridoxically, this new method is actually an ancient way of prayer, one in which God's faithful servants like David and Paul flourished. I call it crafted prayer.....I believe that God is taking many into a new season of intimate,

We're now gearing up for the next phase of our journey. There will be alot of preparations over the next number of days. Today we were in Vancouver joining in two separate prayer times/stategy times. The first one was in the Great Room on Hastings and was the first time Karen and I had been there. What an amazing place - a piece of heaven right in the heart of the downtown core! The highlight was

Well, things are coming together in a whirlwind of activity - calls, emails, setting up a facebook event, and learning how to operate a video cam.  Ha, for those of you that know me, these are all challenging to say the least ;)In discussion with Karen, my 'partner in prayer', it was decided that a tent was the better way to go, so this week we will be purchasing a large tent, with some standing

Well this is what I and a friend have been working on for the past number of weeks.  One day God downloaded a crazy idea as we were sitting outside having coffee at a local coffee shop.  So here we are just about ready to start and feeling so unprepared.  The idea is just to bring a place of worship and prayer for 24 hours in the towns we visit.  There are 7 cities, one day of 24 hour prayer in

From Graham Cooke: http://grahamcooke.com/index.php?fuseaction=e4_news.display_full&news_id=76Jesus’ own sense of wonder surfaced whenever He saw others who walked in innocence and purity. One of the few times Jesus said “behold”—or, as we would term it, “wow”—was when He first met Nathanael, a man who later became one of His disciples. “Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!” Jesus

"Seemingly senseless pain and trauma engulfs much of life. If you seek to follow Him, you must be content to trust His character rather than your ability to understand. The difference between a knife in the hand of an assassin and a knife in the hand of a surgeon is intent: both inflict severe pain. You must decide whether God is an assassin or a surgeon.

"I fear that many people seek to hear God solely as a device for securing their own safety, comfort and righteousness. For those who busy themselves to know the will of God, however, it is still true that "those who want to save their life will lose it."

There is a modern day phenomenon that is sweeping across our world. It is characterized by an underlying sense of loneliness, melancholia or homesickness. The thing that is different about this malady is that this sense of loneliness, of melancholia and homesickness is experienced by people who remain in their home, and familiar environments. Australian philosopher Glenn Albrecht has stated that,

“Coming events cast their shadows before them, and when God is about to bless his people his coming favour casts the shadow of prayer over the church. When he is about to favour an individual he casts the shadow of hopeful expectation over his soul. Our prayers, let men laugh at them as they will, and say there is no power in them, are the indicators of the movement of the wheels of Providence.

This great revivalist and evangelistic, spent long hours everyday in prayer. He knew the power of prayer and could teach it too. One very powerful statement Charles Finney said was, “Truth, by itself, will never produce the effect without the Spirit of God., and the Spirit is only given in answer to prayer. The truth by itself will do nothing more that harden men unto repentance.” Selah!

They have yet to find God.Holiness Comes From Seeking The Glory Of God "How can you believe, when you receive glory from one another, and you do not seek the glory that is from the one and only God?" (John 5:44) If we are displaying our spirituality to impress men, still seeking honor from others,

“Repentance out of mere fear is really sorrow for the consequences of sin, sorrow over the danger of sin — it bends the will away from sin, but the heart still clings. But repentance out of conviction over mercy is really sorrow over sin, sorrow over the grievousness of sin — it melts the heart away from sin. It makes the sin itself disgusting to us, so it loses its attractive power over us. We

“Everywhere creation calls for the honoring of God’s standards. Everywhere humanity’s sinfulness disrupts and deforms. Everywhere Christ’s victory is pregnant with the defeat of sin and the recovery of creation.”- Albert M. Wolter

Indeed His works were the best proof that He was not insane. "And many of them said, He hath a demon and is made; why hear ye him?

“Revival is the act of the Spirit upon believers who have lost their first love. Revival is the restoration of true doctrine. Revival is the rekindling of the power of prayer in individuals and in groups. Revival is seeing that God must be vindicated either by His mercy in pardoning - or by judgment! Revival is the ascendancy of the spiritual over the material. Revival is the Spirit's passion

Do you have a hunger for God? If we don’t feel strong desires for the manifestation of the glory of God, it is not because we have drunk deeply and are satisfied. It is because we have nibbled so long at the table of the world. Our soul is stuffed with small things, and there is no room for the great. If we are full of what the world offers, then perhaps a fast might express, or even increase,

This is an excellent article by Francis Frangipane:The world and all it contains was created for one purpose: to showcase the grandeur of God's Son. In Jesus, the nature of God is magnificently and perfectly revealed; He is the "express image" of God (Heb. 1:3 KJV). Yet to gaze upon Christ is also to see God's pattern for man. As we seek to be like Him, we discover that our need was created for

I heard his little prayer a few weeks ago while at a talk on Spritual Authenticity and thought I'd post it on the blog. I realize this can be a slap in the face to someone in great pain, but for folks on the other side of it, it is a powerful affirmation of what God does in his people. Only as we lose our agenda to put our lives together the way we think best, can we enjoy Father in the midst of

Your pain is deep and it won't just go away. It is also uniquely yours, because it is linked to some of your earliest life experiences. Your call is to bring that pain home. As long as your wounded part remains foreign to your adult self, your pain will injure you as well as others. Yes, you have to incorporate your pain into yourself and let it bear fruit in your heart and the hearts of

Several months ago, I started a new series of messages in my church on worship. As I looked at Scriptures and all the books on worship, I thought maybe I would speak on how to give thanks to God, how to worship God, how to love him, how to praise him, how to sing, how to pray, how to wait upon him—all the different elements of worship. But I sensed that the Lord wanted me to speak first on the

“God’s clean up operations are very strange.”“A deep spiritual walk with God does not usually happen immediately after conversion.

The vision is Jesus- obsessively, dangerously, undeniably Jesus. The vision is an army of people, intergenerational, all ages all races. You see bones? I see an army. And they are FREE from materialism. They laugh at 9-5 little prisons. They could eat caviar on Monday and crust on Tuesday. They wouldn't even notice. They are mobile like the wind; they belong to the nations. They need no passport.

“Coming events cast their shadows before them, and when God is about to bless his people his coming favour casts the shadow of prayer over the church. When he is about to favour an individual he casts the shadow of hopeful expectation over his soul. Our prayers, let men laugh at them as they will, and say there is no power in them, are the indicators of the movement of the wheels of Providence.

By Carol MadisonWhen we pray for and speak of revival and transformation, what are the benchmarks we are using to identify a true move of God? Because those terms mean different things in different venues, we need to identify characteristics of a move of God that are supernaturally leading toward true revival and transformation. We should desire nothing less of God!After traveling to Almolonga,
