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 to be seen, but we know that it can't be a copy of any other prayer or worship house. It must be unique to this area and it must follow a heavenly blueprint. This is going to require time, prayer, waiting, seeking, asking, listening.
So, we're content right now not having the next step. We know that God will give it to us at the right time, in the right way. It's going to be very important that we follow His instructions exactly, even to the timing of things. We know that we must take each step God's way, not our own way.
We're in no hurry, God. We're content to linger in the path sign-posted with your decisions. Who you are and what you've done are all we'll ever want.
Isaiah 26:7-10 Msg
Allow me to quote David Damien of Watchmen for the Nations:
He Has the Plan
In this season, we can rest in knowing that God is not waiting for us to put the plan, He has had the plan since before the foundation of the earth that will bring everything into accordance with the purpose of his will (Ephesians 1:11). God is only looking for us to surrender all to Him – our time, our finances, our family, our dreams, our desires – and to come into alignment with Him. This is the turning point – the end of the kingdom of Saul and the beginning of the kingdom of David. It’s the end of man’s initiatives, man’s programs, man’s plans. The next era belongs to those who will inquire of the Lord, who will keep His word, who will follow His prescribed ways.
