Last night we had dinner with some friends ...we've known this couple forever it seems. Since leaving for Israel, Marianne has been my rear guard. God has positioned her as a covering for us.
Many times I have awakened to an email with a scripture for us, or the recounting of a dream God gave her for us. They are always timely. Sometimes coming when we are in the middle of a battle, spiritual or emotional.
So, we were having a good time chatting, looking at pictures from Israel, of course eating.. They are great cooks :). All too quickly came the time to leave... I hate leaving. They asked if they could pray over us before we left...you all know that we covet your prayers.
Marianne asked if we'd had time just to sit and be in God's presence with other believers since we've been back...truthfully, we haven't. It's been a busy whirlwind with people wanting to know all of the news, but not any time of fellowship with them and The Lord. So, Vinnie got out his guitar and we just sat and worshipped together. What a restfully sweet time.
We prayed together and after prayer, Marianne felt that she should anoint our hands with oil...they both prayed for the gift of healing to be manifested over us, to be able to go back to Israel and heal...the miraculous signs and wonders we have been praying for.
What neither of them knew is that when we go back we have something new that The Lord has given is to return with. We will be an outpost in Israel for Bridge for Peace. If you all remember, a group from BFP came to visit and minister to us last May. We saw many of the group last month, including the couple that started the ministry, Ed and Annette.
This ministry moves in healings...spiritual, physical, emotional. The Bridge is Jesus.. We are very excited and honored to be this groups representatives in Israel. They will be sending teams to us for the express purpose of serving in the Land through prayer and laying on of hands...
Marianne and Vinnie didn't know any of this, but their prayers were a confirmation to us...God is always in the details.
