YOU ARE PRECIOUS...

Hello Precious People..

Just writing this blog from the amazing nation Singapore. I have been here for a week taking part in a forum with World Outreach, discussing how we can mobilize young people into missions. Its been an awesome week. One very cool thing thats happened is that I met an amazing woman from Oz, who works in Vietnam. She is running the Shine programme there. Shine is a program that I have been involved in running in NZ - mentoring and helping with Life skills with teenage girls. We got to share with a group of girls from here in Singapore who have been wanting to set this program up here... wow.... its totally been divine appointments by God. We so could never have arranged this.  I was sharing with a friend from NZ today ( on skype) about how its been one of the highlights of my trip so far as it really showed me how interested God is in his precious girls.. and how right across the earth he is bringing it to the light.   So as you read this i hope you know that God is VERY interested in every single aspect of your life, that he cares about the little things, and that as you choose to follow him and take risks for him here on Earth he will surprise you with showing you how BIG he is, and in control of your life he is. I am blown away that the Lord has opened doors for me to be here, and to next week go to India. It was 10 years ago that I felt God call me and speak to me about being in ministry and traveling around the world with and for Him.... its happening now - but it has taken time... 

What ever season you are keep loving the Lord, hearing his voice, risking, and TRUSTING that he is faithful to lead you and make your paths straight.

Will write more when I get to India... be blessed today...

Jesus gives LIFE

Hello girls... I just thought it was time for a wee update. This last week has been a challenging one! I found myself along with my flatmates at the scene of a fatal accident on sunday night. There has been alot of different thoughts going through my head, and feelings in my heart since this happened. I know that God is true to his word when he says that he works all things together for the good of those who Love him and are called according to his purpose. As we were driving before we saw the accident the verse that we had been discussing was "God is the one who gives life to to the dead and calls things that are not as though they are" Romans 4:17 , a minute later we are at the scene of a crash where someone had died. This was not what I was expecting. 

Last night I was reminded about this verse. I was around alot of youth from our city- at a youth church. As  I was sitting in the church the verse went through my head again... and I sensed from God that he was so desperately wanting to bring LIFE from the deaths that have occured. My heart was sooo breaking last night as I saw many young people weeping, mourning for there friend who lost her life in this tragedy. My heart was breaking because I know how desperately this generation needs life in there spirit. My prayer for this nation, this generation is that where we have seen death occur, that God by the power of His Holy Spirit would flood in with LIFE, and that many would turn to Jesus because of this. 

Girls know that today God wants to come into the midst of your situation and breathe life, He is powerful, strong and mighty. All things are possible for Him. Today open you heart to Him, call on His name, He will do what his word says, and HE WILL ANSWER YOU.

Know the word ... fear the LORD

Hello precious girls... and guys - if you are reading this page,

Just wanted to write a bit of an encouraging word to you all today. I was enjoying some time with the Lord this morning - sitting on the balcony, with my bible, note book and coffee. I was reading in Deuteronomy and was drawn to a passage about Joshua and Moses. Chapter 31 Veres 9 - 13 are about the public reading of the Law. This stuck out to me because it was talking about Children and young people knowing the the law and learning how to fear the Lord. I think often we forget how powerful, and how important the word of God is. If we do not know the word of God, we will then be lacking in the fear of the Lord. Psalm 111:10 says "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow his precepts have good understanding. To him belongs eternal praise".

I want to encourage you today to make time to spend with God in HIS word. This is where you will gain wisdom, and this is where you will learn how to Fear the Lord - not be scared of him , but have a reverence and awe of God. The word of God is powerful, it is a weapon for us to use in defeating the enemy, it is a source of encouragement to our hearts, it gives us promises that we can hold on to in good and bad times. 

Today may you experience the fear of the LORD... and in doing so you will gain wisdom and understanding.

Blessings,

katie
