Drove across Scotland this weekend and yes, it is glorious
in its autumn apparel. All the usual colours – oranges, yellows, bronzes,
fading greens and all the shades in between. Sunglasses were required not
because of the brilliant foliage but because of the sun beaming out of a mostly
clear blue sky.
Arrived in Glasgow and checked into a hotel that was WAY
past its best before date. I can put up with a lot of things, and it was clean,
but a mattress where every spring has sprung is no joke. Replacement the second
night was soggy but smooth. An improvement.
But the glory of the weekend was not in the colour scheme of
autumn nor (absolutely not) in the accommodation but in the messages coming
from the Healing Rooms conference team, through the worship music led so
sensitively by Allan McKinlay, through the teaching of guest speaker from
Bethel church in Redding, CA, Steve Backlund, through the teaching of Healing
Rooms Scotland director Robbie Morrison, through the prophetic words and prayer
and especially a word given to me by Phyllis who sat beside me through one or
two sessions. Go God!
I am expecting transformation of my mind as I really lay
hold of the promises of God and his declarations in the Bible of just who we
are in Jesus. I am excited to see what this day holds and I am looking for opportunities
to revive hope and instil truth into conversations and meetings with others.
I am rejoicing in the Lord this morning. He is a good God,
who loves the world so much he sent his son Jesus to live amongst us as one of
us. And he, Jesus, is perfect.
Praise God. Happy Monday. Lots of opportunities this week to
live out who I am in Christ. A challenging week ahead and I am full of
expectation of what God is going to do in me, through me, for me. In you,
through you, for you.
Amen.
PS Haven't forgotten about the Great Russian Adventure. Just a deep breath before plunging back in.
