My day today....

My day today started off quite normal, getting ready for work and getting kids ready for school. I left the house earlier today than normally. At 7:50 am I left the house went down 5th street and over the bridge to soon realize that our main park was completely flooded and at the intersection there was a detour. At this point I am about 1/2 block away from work which would normally take me 1 minute or less. But not this day....it took me another 30 minutes to get around the detour to my work. I was only able to get to the parking lot for Blockbuster Video as Puntledge Rd was completely flooded as you can see in the pictures. So homeward bound I was to have an unexpected day at home.....ah nice! But I did ponder and pray for those that might of not been having such a great day today as I was. The ones that are dealing with there basements flooding and such stuff. I pray that God would provide for them everything they need.....family and friends to help with what is an overwhelming time when dealing with a flood.

The Vancouver Taboo Sex Show

God is doing some amazing things through people that are willing to love like He loves. About a week and a half ago six of us ladies from the Courtenay Northgate Church meet up with three others from XXXChurch which is out of Las Vegas, a couple from Seatle, a lady from Calgary and two more ladies from Vancouver. We spent four days a sex show in a booth handing out Jesus Loves Porn Stars bibles. We got all kinds of different reactions but mostly they were amazing and so thankful that we would extend the unconditional love of Jesus to all. The sadest thing I heard for those four days was about 80% of my conversations, the person would express that in one way or another the church(us) had hurt them with judgement. Some of the team was able to say sorry on behalf of the church and bring about some form of healing for them. All of the team members had such great conversations with the people and had fun together as a team. This experience truly opened my eyes and has changed me forever.

I am so glad that before I was a christian someone told me that Jesus loved me right as I was!

I am reading this book right now that is called The Happy Intercessor by Beni Johnson. One of the chapters in there talks about having An Offensive Lifestyle. Just as in football it is best to be the offensive team instead of being on the defensive. Why? The defensive team is always trying to steal the ball and trying to figure out the offensive team's strategies and plays. However, the offensive team has the advantage in that they have the ball and call the plays and know the strategies. God has already given us the ball and we are to know we are the offensive team. If we do not understand that God has already given us the ball then we will live in fear and pray from a place of lack. As intercessors, as the offensive team, our job is to take the land and not to run around after the enemy trying to steal the ball away from him. As intercessors, we must listen for the plays the Lord is calling and pray them in so the team can catch the ball and make the touchdown. Our job is not to spend all of our time worrying about the enemy's strategies. We are to make the plays that God calls.

What team are you on?

I started this blog out of a God dream I had, it was about encouraging all the intercessors/prayer people in their communities to begin or continue declaring God's favor, goodness, kindness and prosperity into every situation that is around them. God said to me "Sandra I want you to encourage them to DIG in. I want them to be Declaring Intercessors of God (D.I.G.). When Graham Cooke was last at our church, he brought forth a very powerful word from God and it spoke about this time being a time of favor and to be overwhelming situations with declaring the favor of God instead of focusing on the enemy. There has been a group of us that have been declaring things over homes, business and situations and it works. God's word does not come back void! Thats all for my first post, I will be back soon.

Glad you stopped by, have a great day!
