NOW
by Léa
Was listening to a message yesterday, and got a great revelation on NOW. NOW belongs to us, yesterday is gone, tomorrow is filled with visions and dreams, but no certainty of what will be there. My relationship with my Beloved Jesus is what it is NOW. Not what i am hoping it to be tomorrow. I have so many hopes and desires of what i want my relationships ( with Jesus, with Graham, with the kids) to be, but i need to live them to their fullness now.
In that perspective, i had a great day. Praying and going in the streets sharing Jesus' love. We did a treasure hunt, and found our treasures, and prayed with them, it was GREAT. One couple matches all the clues on our treasure map: orange top, silver shoes, knee pain, ear pain, and chest pain. How cool is that??? we had a good time with them.
Want so much more of Jesus NOW. And here is a beautiful pic from something i found in my garden. These plant are called the "pope's money" ;-)
I love your attitude Léa! Could you explain a bit more about the treasure hunt... sounds intriguing!?
ReplyDeletehey heather, a treasure hunt...
ReplyDeleteit's looking for the Lord's treasures (people). we spend some time in his presence and then believe he gives us clues to the people he wants to lead us to. Like blue shirt, glasses, by the FNAC...we just put everything on one piece of paper, and we also have needs like: just lost his job & needs a new job, pain in his chest, problem with his parents, or whatever, and then we go to the people with the visual clues and ask them if they have a need that is on our list. we usually start with : ca peut vous sembler un peu etrange mais on fait une chasse au trésor...on pense que vous etes sur notre liste, on croit en Dieu et que nous parle et est-ce que l'un de ces besoin vous correspond, and we show them the list, and then ask if we can pray for them. Most ppl think it is really funny, and allow us to pray for them ( you hardly ever get rejected when you look like you are enjoying yourself), simple short prayer, sometimes really good conversations, sometimes people are healed right on the street, sometimes nothing... but it is really really FUN. We have been doing this for about a year now, and we love it. Our first treasure EVER, the first day we went out, was a guy looking for a job and we prayed and he found a job, came to the café and then to church and met Jesus.
There is a book out about it : "the ultimate treasure hunt" by kevin Dedmond.
