´Pink is my favourite colour?`

Pink... a colour, if you know me, that is definately not in the top 10 for colour choices let alone a colour that i would wear. But for some strange reason God seems to be colouring in my life with a very bright pink and man is He persistent!

 
This colour appeared in my life in our luke 10 journey during training where i joined the pink team for an incredible faith ride, where we really saw the significance of the colour come out. And now again in Brazil it seems to be everywhere. you see the colour pink has a prophetic meaning, it symbolizes first love and salvation. What a whopper! and how true! i cannot begin to explain what is going on in my heart when it comes to Jesus and my relationship with HIm... but what i can tell you is that you should not reject or ignore the call to return to your first love because walking in that first love has resulted in overflow that i have never experienced before. 

 

I have been blown away at hearing and responding to the heart of God the last few weeks . Coming to realize that The Father´s expectation of me is not to DO but to just BE, to be in relationship with Him. that the eyes may be elightend so that i will know Him more and as i do that i will know my hope (Jesus) which is certain, i will know my inheretance which is sealed by the Holy Spirit (The Ather Longing to pour out Himself into me and through me) and the power that is at work in me because of the Holy Spirit in me. How could i not DO if i am in that place of BEING. of BEING in HIM! wonderful!

 

 

 


Quick story from Sao Paulo that so expresses God´s heart and love for people and the colour pink;)

We are currently split up into small groups all around Sao Paulo Brazil living with different families. Myself and Kasia happen to be with a wonderful young couple who live in an apartment block. The couple work from 9am till about 10pm on an average day so you can imagine that we had quite a bit of time on our hands this last friday. After praying and hanging out in His presence we decided to do a treasure hunt... and found ourselves sitting in the courtyard with the comand to play guitar and the words ´come to me` amongst others. ANd so we did and my what an epic tale unfolded. To cut a long story short: us playing drewe a crowd of indwellers around us. here we met charles our man of peace and shared with Him an encouraging word and prayed with Him. little did we know that He was the manager of the apartment block, so quite the man of influence. After that every person that walked by He would tell our story and ask us to pray for them. some for addictions others for encouragment, one even accepted Christ.

But what was quite the story was the group of woman in their fifties that came to sit outside and drink beer and listen to us sing. Each one of them asked for us to pray for them and we really experienced Father´s presence so tangibly, but do remeber that they cannot understand us because they speak portuguese. none the less they asked us to stay and hang out with them which we did for the rest of the evening and just as we were about to leave charles brought us a woman and her son to pray for. This lady was wearing pink shoes:) Her son was qiute the little legend with many questions abouth the bible and a real living relationship with Jesus. The Lord really touched her heart as we prayed for her and her son Rodrigo (about 10 years old) recieved the Holy SiPirit. Man what an evening. we later found out from our Vivian (the Lady that we are staying with) that the group of woman came to her and asked us to come and share with her translating so that they could understand, because they experienced a peace and a burning sensation when we prayed for them, something that they had never experienced before!

All I can say is THAT´s MY KING!And my does He love people! so i guess i would say that i´m ok with the colour pink...maybe actually learning to love it:)
