05th - 07th November, 2010 Espoo, Finland
We left the base in Koivumäki early to get to Espoo on time or even before the opening program for the event. We were with our teacher for the week, and it was a blessing to have him with us, playing the flute during the worship time. I was so tired - stiff back, terrible headache and really physically tired. So during the last worship set, I was praying in my mind while singing, asking God to be my strength, that I can´t do it without Him, and that He´d have to sing for me.
A side note: I got a few words for specific people that I´d meet in the event so I was looking out and asking God who these people were.
So this time, I sensed that God wanted to share two things in the midst of the worship time. Before I spoke, I felt and saw a huge, nasty-looking claw grabbed my nape and the pain was unbearable! I felt my insides were being pulled up to my head and my head was about to explode. But I stood there and spoke what God wanted me to say to the people. As soon as I did that, I felt the claw off my back. I felt such a release.... The pain was still there but I sensed a breakthrough for those who receive the words. When we ended the worship set, I immediately went to this girl and prayed for her. Later, she said she came to meeting expecting God to refresh and speak to her, but doubted and was about to leave. When she heard me over the speakers, she stayed and waited for me to come pray for her. The things God spoke to her through me really encouraged her and I was so blessed. I love how God encounters His children!!!
The same thing happened the next evening. I wasn´t leading this time but I felt I should deliver a few words to people and I was so amazed at how God moved this time. His Presence was so tangible that people did not want to stop. I was going to get some snacks before going to bed but then I saw this girl whom I believe needed to hear something. As soon as I told her, she burst into joyful laughter and couldn´t stop... oh she was drunk in the Spirit and three other girls who were there joined in. I heard the next day that God did some breakthroughs in their lives that night.
Last evening. It was a great encouragement to see young leaders taking on for Finland. Great words of encouragement from our Japanese guests, and the former leader of YWAM Northern Europe. Last worship set was such a great time of commissioning and releasing people in the dreams and visions God has given them. All these, we owe them all from God who has bestowed grace upon grace, wisdom for our leaders, and His blessings from generation to generation. I look forward to see what God is going to do in Finland for the next 50 years. God, You are awesome, mighty in power, and deserve all the honour and glory! I love you sooooo much and I thank You for letting me be a part of Your plan in this nation and Europe!
