MEETING OF SAT 30 AUG

This meeting was a bit different from the usual. We had an equal number of children and adults. We decided to kick off with dinner as certain people were on the brink of starvation. The children needless to say were quite happy to oblige. Some of us sat outside and watched the beautiful sunset whilst eating our dinner. JJ and Aldi led us in worship which was also different from the usual but really beautiful. Jenni was the facilitator for the evening but it felt like the Holy Spirit hijacked the meeting. It is so important that we listen to Him and allow Him to lead our times of fellowship. He definitely had a theme. We prayed together and encouraged each other with prophetic words and scriptures which was beautiful. We spoke about the purity of God's love for us and that how we as His children water it down in the way that we would water down a good perfume. Queen Esther soaked herself in oils for six months and perfumes for a further six months in preparation for her King. In the same way we need to soak ourselves in the perfume/fragrance of His presence, in the purity of His love. The evening made me aware of how privileged we are to be able to sit at our Lord's feet and have Him minister to us. We felt Him reminding us to take our eyes off all the things in the world and gaze into His face and receive His grace. We need to keep our eyes on Him.
