I just got done with a weeklong ministry training called Harvest Institute at King’s Park. It was intense. Lots of worship and silent waiting on God. Lots of messages on the deeper things of God like Holy Spirit baptism, hearing the voice of God, spiritual resistance, the heart of the gospel, and more. We were prayed over and prophesied over. And we prayed a lot ourselves. Whew! At the end of it all….I was exhausted. Going to Harvest Institute was for me a response to what God told me to do earlier this year. And with all that I learned and with all that God spoke to me during this time I can see some of why I needed to go. It goes right along with what has been going on inside of me lately—a deeper understanding of the Gospel, a desire to see the power of God like never before, a desire to share the Gospel with people, and excitement about developing relationships with young women. As God moves me forward He has to prepare me for what is coming and I think Harvest Institute was a part of that. It is a part of the equipping process that I desperately need as God takes me deeper in Him.
One thing that stood out at Harvest Institute was their emphasis on praying in tongues and walking in the prophetic…two things that are not integral parts of my life, but I so want them to be.
