Adventures in Australia Day 3

Today was Sunday here in Beechworth and it was cool and rainy.  We woke up early and spent the morning together - the three of us sharing, and talking about the things the Lord was revealing to us.  Before we knew it, it was time to get ready for church.  Jacky has spoken to us yesterday about going to the local Salvation Army church so we headed out to a quaint older style building on the main street.  A warm place had been prepared for us both physically and spiritually...

Our time there was God ordained.  The Lord spoke to us through the message, and the words of the songs.  The message was on Judges 6:1-16 where Gideon was called to 
STEP OUT.  

Gideon HEARD the call of God
Gideon TESTED the call of God
Gideon OBEYED the call of God
Gideon STEPPED OUT in God's strength!

At one point in the service I looked up, and saw a stunning picture of a lighthouse that caught my attention.  No sooner had I seen this than I noticed Karen had also seen it.  We knew we needed to take a picture of it as it ties in with some things the Lord has already been speaking to us about. 



Afterwards, we were invited into an amazing time of prayer with two other ladies.  The five of us prayed for one another, and the Lord ministered healing, grace, strength and peace to each of us.  It was truly bread from heaven. We were then invited for 'physical bread' and joined them in a church luncheon, which we enjoyed immensely.  

As we were leaving, we decided to head off around the corner to the local honey store. 



There were so many different types and flavours and they had taste testers for each one.  It was fabulous!  Then before we left, we nabbed a few pictures of some old gothic churches in the area. Lots of history here!




We headed home to rest, and prepare for our trip early tomorrow morning to Tasmania! 
 We have been prepared and now we are ready ....

Love the picture of the Lighthouse
I enlarged it to the max so I could read all the words easily and it spoke deeply to my spirit.
A copy of this would be amazing.
Again more tasting delights of our Lord eh! First wine, then cheese and now sweet honey awesome
Continue in His strength, protection and guidance.
Take care Mike
