SOWW Week 2

The first week of my SOWW
[School of Worshipping Warriors]
was orientation and a short outreach up to the north coast of NSW
to a surf town called Yamba, about 2 hrs south of Byron Bay.
We went to an Indigenous mission there
to help with worship for an Indigenous Easter Conference.

The spiritual atmosphere was very heavy
God moved incredibly through us being there and the people that
attended the conference.
We worshipped over the land, did open airs, hung out with the kids
and loved people.

I saw a huge angel one night, in the hall where we stayed
when God woke us up to pray at 2:30am for the community.
We felt such a shift in the spiritual atmosphere that night.
It was beautiful! God's presence was so manifest there
and we are excited to send a team there again soon.

We have just finished the first week of lectures for the SOWW
we had Kevin Norris from YWAM Kona [Hawai'i]
speaking on the Character and Development of a Worshipper

basically, it was all about Knowing God
- in the LoveSick way!
Needless to say.. I was totally stoked - this is my favourite topic
EVER

the week was really heavy [in a good way]
with God doing a lot in all of us and setting us free from a lot of things
there is still so much to process and I know that
God is only going to multiply all this stuff
and keep turning my word upside down.

It's awesome!

There are 9 students on this school with me
All but 2 are base staff here at Island Breeze Sydney
and are made up of the Protocol team, Indigenous ministry
and Worship team on our base.

Here is a little taste of the last day of lectures this week
talking about expressing yourself to God and the power of words
and being whole-hearted -
_____________________________________

Be Real

Is there a better way?

  • Tell it like it is – real, genuine, authentic – lament
  • Remember what God has done – thanks
    [enter His gates with thanksgiving, and His courts with praise]
  • Speak out what He is like – praise
    [You are my refuge, You are my provider, You are my comfort..]
  • Express your confidence in what God will do in the future – confessing your hope
  • Surrender to Him, receive His love – worship

Hebrews 10:23 – 'Let us hold fast to the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful'

Remember what God has done – I remember when You...
Remember Who He is/What He is like – You are our ...
Remember His promises – Speak hope into the future – wars against the lies of the enemies
