March was a crazy month, jam-packed full of events!
One of the first things that happened was a word from John Mulinde.
Watch it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DE8Acj94eFg
Mike Bickle (Founder of the IHOP-KC) shut down the International House of Prayer University for a couple hours to hear John Mulinde speak a word from God. The Fredericksburg Prayer Furnace shut down the prayer room to hear the word. Mulinde had a dramatic encounter with the Lord, where God told him that He wanted him to repent for his ways of sin. God told John to share what He told him to the Church. As a house, we were very shaken with the fear of the Lord. One the senior leaders called a public confession in the prayer room. Amazingly, this lasted around 5 hours with about 100 staff & community publicly confessing hidden sin in their lives!! There were many, many tears of repentance and afterwards, there was a stronger sense of unity. For me, it awakened my heart to throw off everything that entangles and seek the face of God (Heb 12)!
My mom went to Hong Kong for a week this month. She got blessed with $900 altogether to help pay for the trip to see my grandma and aunt. So Praise God! My grandma still has very fragile health, so one prayer request would be for her to know Jesus. My aunt is at a dangerously low weight. Please pray for her health too and salvation.
In the Bible, I’ve been in the Book of Ruth, Hebrews 10, and believe it or now-Leviticus! I feel like God is teaching me about the centrality of the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross. The cross totally throws off striving in the confidence of the flesh. In reading Leviticus, I see God’s plan to send Jesus as the only pure sacrifice for the sins of the world even reading the Levitical law of Israel.
Great News!! God hears our prayers! Gov. Bob McDonnell passed a bill that can/is going to force 17 out of 21 abortion clinics to shut down in Virginia!
I got a chance at the end of March to go to Washington DC with some people from the Prayer Furnace.
Dr. Michael Brown launched his new book, A Queer Thing Has Happened to America at a press conference. This book is mainly targeted at people who are not Christians. It was number one on amazon.com for at least a week when it came out for gay & lesbian non-fiction (Have caution when looking this up…). God broke my heart for people who struggle with homosexuality. At many universities, April is the official Gay Pride month. I think it is probably because of the clever name for the month, “Gaypril.” Please pray for them!
My Prayer points:
Direction after Intro to Staff (after June).
For boldness to witness to my dad. (My dad’s salvation)
Prayer Support and financial support
Clarity on God’s calling on my life.
Grace for fasting (the 21 days of Fasting starts midnight).
Awaken the Dawn conference in May.
