Rest

Posted by The Pierces in News on July 24th, 2009

The last ten days with Brian and two consultants have been a whirlwind. I have pretty much laid aside all my normal work to focus on these two special projects yet I have been busy and tired. Encountering a demon face-to-face during our school prayer walk on Wednesday night did not help and yesterday morning I woke nauseas, achy and so tired I went back to bed for three more hours. Interestingly, when Brian prayed for me all the symptoms almost instantly disappeared. We and the school leadership have the sense that we have stirred the pot. That the work of healing and casting out this week has stirred up God¹s Spirit hear but also the spirits of opposition. We have no doubt Who will win but know the Battle will continue to be intense as Brian goes.

Our team has a planned vacation together over the next two days at the Queen Elizabeth gamepark so we will drive out together with Brian today then send him on to meet his plane in Entebbe while we head to the land of elephants and kob. It could not be a better time for us to get away for a day or two. David met with God deeply while with Brian and has much to process from that time. Consultants gave us options we hardly dared to hope or expect and I believe in faith that great change is on the horizon. We have much to think about in terms of spiritual development at the school post-Brian. And it would be great if we were able to reconnect with our team who we barely see these days . Pray for harmony and healing, rest and renewal, peace and perspective.

    I remember reading the biography of John Stott, one of my favorite people. He believed that people must be urged to make a decision for Christ. This does not sit well with many Presbyterian sensibilities. Being asked for prayer requests for you, about a month ago I told the ladies in my Bible study that what Christ School needs (ultimately) is a revival. It may have begun!!
