In an age so coated with options for us to eat and drink of we rarely stop to see what our options have done to our spiritual health-not to mention our physical health. God is calling a generation to leave the cesspool of unfulfilling fast food buffets and in to a feast of finer and highly superior options! Satisfaction and comfort are a big deal to mankind-yet we continually feast upon the things that bring temporal satisfaction and we find comfort in the things that can never bring real comfort or long term satisfaction.
Your desire to be satisfied comes from God! God put in each of us a yearning desire to be satisfied. The problem is that we turn our backs daily to the only solution; we settle for small fixes here and there to get us through the day (drugs, sex, entertainment...). We fill ourselves day and night with things that only bring us hurt and pain. There is this calling placed in you by God that yearns and longs to taste of the superior pleasures of God; the cry for eternity and for true love that comes only from God is bent up within you crying for its release-How long will you suppress this burning desire? How much more will you take in before you realize that you are being destroyed by the very things you lean into for comfort and satisfaction??
You will never find answers or freedom if you stay tolerable to the world around you. You must seek an alternative that fills the desires of your heart on a daily basis. The following is just one of many ways that the Lord is using to raise up a beautiful and confident bride! It doesn’t matter what you are ultimately called to, with out training you will be ignorant in the hour of trial; whether that be personal or cooperate!
11 months ago Josh and Misty Cole (School Directors) launched a Discipleship Training School (DTS) with the desire to see God impact the lives of both students and those that they would come in contact with in the future. With a handful of upper staff, 2 team leaders and 16 students (I was a student) we all started an amazing 5 month journey! For 12 weeks we learned different attributes of God's character as well as different ways to engage with His character. The school was ran alongside the Tauranga House of Prayer (THOP); we were given the opportunity to take the things we had learned in the classroom and then go to the place of prayer and contend for the truth of God and the glory of His nature as a supreme being!
The school brought all types of characters of many different ages. Many different denominations were represented; as well there were some who had never really made a commitment to Christ at all. The school challenged all-some knew things about God and even had an intimate relationship with God, while others knew nothing about God and had but on occasion even spoke to the Lord; it didn't matter!! Through the thick of it all God showed up and met every student on the level that each one was at. The school not only had an impact on the students but it also had an impact on the leaders and staff.
After 12 weeks of lecture and 16 hours a week in prayer at THOP we traveled to the Philippines for 8 weeks. The stories of this trip could fill a book. We were partakers of great transformations, healings and salvations. The impact of prayer centered mission had an impact to deep to communicate.
On August 31, 2009 we will kick off another school based here in the beautiful city of Tauranga, New Zealand. The school will be run alongside THOP and has the same vision as the last. We want to serve New Zealand and the nations of the earth with a training center that allows men and women to learn about themselves, God and how to enter into communion with God through prayer!
I am gladly helping out with the staff this year and I am very excited to see all that the Lord will do in the lives involved in this upcoming school.
If you are tired with life as you know it and would like a fresh chance to lay everything down at the feet of Jesus I highly recommend this school. Please pass this along to anyone who you think may be interested. This is a last chance call for this year. Do not hesitate to pray, fast and seek info concerning your life and whether or not God would desire that you come and set this season out for His purpose in your life.
