The Ladies Get Ready for God's Move





Every event in our lives is a page in history that is being written. Last weekend (June 30 to July2) is one memorable event written in the pages of the history of the Women's Net. It was out first ever Women's Encounter. We used to have our Encounters having a mixed crowd of men and women. But taking heed to our pastor's advice of having homogenous encounters for a more powerful ministering, we decided to do it this time. The preparation time is really memorable for me personally.

During our preparation, I sought God on who will be the Encounter team for the Women's Encounter. I had the first meeting with my disciples only. But the week after that, the Lord showed me that all my disciples as well as their annex people are all to be brought in to the team. So, for the next two Encounter team meetings, I called for all the women in the School of Leaders (these ladies make the annex cells). We had a great time of worshipping and seeking God. We allowed our Father to minister to us individually. There are several whom the Father brought into the rest of His arms. They experienced peace and calmness in the body, soul and spirit. There are others whom the Lord has restored the joy and laughter of a child. There were several who were laughing in the spirit as their childlike faith is being restored.

Then I released the word that God has been placing in my heart... "that He is breaking the yoke of slavery upon us and that He is releasing us into sonship." The Lord reminded us that we do not work in the ministry as slaves, rather as sons who are loved by the Father so much. And that we need to deepen our love-relationship and our faith in our Father. The Lord ministered powerfully among us that we will never forget for the rest of our lives. The love of the Father is so real, His embrace is an experience and not just a thought.

Finally, we had our anointing service in June 29 (the night before the Encounter). The spirit of the women were so hungry and so ripe to receive much from the Father. We had a time of intercession for all who are coming to experience God. We sensed open heavens... It's really wide open! The floodgates of heaven are open wide and ready to pour out a fresh river of living water.

We received the word in 1 Samuel 10:6-7 (I published a separate blog on this word). I just felt that the ladies are ready for something deeper and stronger than what they've been having. Then, I released the word about the Father's eagerness to anoint His sons that they may be released into their full identity as prophets of God, a mighty echo of the Father's voice. And as I laid my hands upon each of them, the Father released powerfully His Spirit upon each of them. Bodies are being thrown in every direction as the very presence of God comes to invade each temple. We felt fire has come upon us, sanctifying our lives some more, purifying us and making us ready for the Father's use. Fresh fire has come upon our hearts that we cannot deny. We are all ablazed and excited for what God is up to for the Encounter the next day. We knew then that the Father has something amazing in store for the coming weekend.

During the whole preparation time for the Women's Encounter, I saw a different sense of seriousness among the ladies in our church. They were so desperate for something new, something deeper, something out of the ordinary. I felt how they seek God even in their personal times that when we come together, the deep wells are powerfully springing up like nothing can hold it! They grow wild when they are in the presence of God! They just won't let go of the Father!!! And the Father generously pour out His love like bathing us with showers of His unconditional love.

Feels so fresh, clean and free... The ladies are ready for God's move...even beyond the Women's Encounter. We're ready to bring in and receive the multitudes!

For you did not get the spirit of servants again to put you in fear, but the spirit of sons was given to you, by which we say, Abba, Father. Romans 8:15.
