TRUDIE
There is an air of total expectancy, a wind of change. We have
focused on Isaiah 60:1-4, the main scripture focused on the annual
vision week. As one of the women in my cell so perfectly put it, “I now
confidently stand on the first two verses and declare them over my life, as
I truly believe that this is my time to arise and shine, because the glory of
the Lord is upon me. Therefore I am filled with newly found boldness
and faith in God’s promises for me!”
I feel a renewed hunger to move deeper into God and to be
available and positioned for what God has for his church at this time.
I have witnessed a fresh stirring up of dormant gifts and passions
within I the women in my cells. We are hungry to lay hold of God
and to lay aside everything, which would otherwise hold us back.

During the annual vision week, Kristian Lythe shared his journey
of coming to terms with the loss of a friend from KT. It ministered
to me, as I feel that we often plough on with our ‘ministry’ and ‘lives’,
pushing down all hurts, questions, and just papering over them.
Through Kristian’s message God encouraged me to make the time
to allow him to minister into the heart issues of hurt and unanswered
questions. We shouldn’t ignore them, as sooner or later they will
rear their heads, and the enemy will use them to undermine our
relationship with God. I was also reminded that God is big and caring
enough to minister into areas of questions and doubts, which have
arisen on life’s journey. A genuine and real relationship with the
Lord is about being real and genuine!
At the first cell meeting after the vision week, following a wonderful
time of worship, all of those present gave a prophetic word – some for
the first time! And not only was it the first time that everybody had
moved like that, but all of the words were accurate.
