In many ways, it feels as if Missio Lux is pressed up against the water's edge, just like the Israelites after they were miraculously delivered from Egypt! They literally had nowhere to go, but instead of being defeated, they walked through a sea which supernaturally parted for their crossing.
We have a moving date now; we are moving at the end of December! Watch for my future blog where I describe the miraculous way God has moved to answer our prayers for our home to continue to be a beacon of light, welcome and hospitality for his kingdom!
When I asked the Lord to show me the most important things to do before I move, he was clear to show me we needed to do a process of discernment and prayer. So, we set two nights to gather, discern and pray.
Our first was Sunday when we asked the Lord to show an areas where we needed to repent, open entry points where the thief is able to sneak through a door, and sins made against us. We took communion and prayed for repentance for the areas we discerned through the evening.
Last night many of us gathered to pray specifically for repentence and breakthrough. It was exciting to me to see how we humbled ourselves, prayed and sought God's face, as we trusted him to hear from heaven, forgive our sin and heal our land (2nd Chronicles 7:14).
It was also good for us to gather from our different missio communities to come together to pray. The unity in the room was palpable; the desire for God to do more amongst us increasing as our prayers of faith rose up to believe God to part the waters so we can walk through, and our enemy the thief, is drowned in the sea.
When people hear I am moving to another state, their first question is "What's going to happen to Missio Lux?" However, instead of distress, we hear the Lord saying, "This is my finest hour. Watch and see what I do...."
We are expectant. We are watching, waiting and listening...as we raise up our staff like Moses for the sea to part.
