OH SHOOT!

Hey everyone! I hope you're all doing well and haven't gone too insane during this season of sofa surfing and Netflix binging...what a crazy time still! Things over here in Australia are pretty chilled out right now; here in WA they have lifted our restrictions and we can now meet in groups of 10 both indoors and outdoors, providing we stick to social distancing guidelines! This has been especially great for me as I have very much missed my friends; funny how you can have 17 housemates and still miss people.

The last couple of weeks have been very fruitful, and full of fun!

A little over a week ago I finished my very first song with PTX, written recorded, mastered and ready to go! Super exciting stuff, and I'll be sure to do a blog update all about music and ministry things to fill you in on that front soon, but for now let me just say that I am incredibly thankful to still be able to work during this season. Yes things may be a little slower paced than normal, but what a blessing to be able to continue in the work God has called me to, even with a world pandemic happening!

Full disclosure (and maybe a small portion of repentance), I did make a small venture out with some friends to take some sweet photographs BEFORE the restrictions were lifted...don't worry we were socially distant and I'm choosing to look at it as prophetic action! Anyway, the very next morning, restrictions were lifted, so we only went and did it again! Honestly, I never realised how much I enjoy taking pictures and having them taken of myself. I think it's cool to have a catalogue of photographs to share with people in the future, and to get all nostalgic looking back.

I have some incredibly talented friends and I'm blessed to do life (and photoshoots) with them!

Last night I felt the Holy Spirit really challenge me quite strongly. The world is definitely in need of a miracle right now, and there have been a lot of modern day prophets claiming they know when the end of the pandemic will be. One of these I had heard about was a man in the US who has prophesied that God will wipe the virus from the earth exactly 40 days after Easter Sunday (aka 22/05). Now that really would be a miracle. I've talked about it with a few people, and my stance has always been "Well, I know that God COULD do it; it's not impossible...but let's just see." I really didn't think that there was anything wrong with taking this position, but last night I entered into a conversation with God that has changed my perspective on the matter. As I was lying in bed just thinking about it, I heard the Lord ask me why I didn't believe He would do it...I was stunned. I know He CAN do it, but I am yet to reach a place of believing that He WILL. I felt prompted to open up my bible and as I shined the light from my phone down on the pages through my dark room, I was met with what I can only describe as a gentle slap in the face from God! Matthew 8 is all about Jesus healing people as they step out in great faith. The man with leprosy came and knelt before Him crying "Lord if you are willing" and He was healed. The centurion had faith to believe all his servant needed was for the words of Jesus to be spoken, even from a distance, and his servant would be healed; and they were!

Something Jesus is teaching me in this season is that He loves to respond to faith. What would happen if my faith was crazy enough to believe in this prophecy? What could the Father of creation do if I just had the courage to believe that He could and He WOULD do something to save us? I mean whats the worst that could happen? I'm wrong. So what? Nothing else changes if I don't step out in faith...but if I do, something just might! So I want to ask you to take a courages step of faith with me, and pray for God to come and move in this place on the 22nd of May 2020. I don't know about you but I am eager to see a miracle of epic proportions, and the only one I know that can deliver it is the one who delivered me!

My Father is faithful in the good seasons and in the storm, and there is no place I'd rather be than in faith in His arms! God bess you all, have an awesome week!
