Angels - running with purpose
Last night we had a prayer meeting at the House of Prayer. We were praying specifically for the House of Prayer and at one point Pastor Tim had us all go to a wall and pray that God would send angels out to the rest of the world with the vision of the House of Prayer. As I was praying, I saw an angel and he was running all the way through the south of England and into France, he was running with complete abandon and joy and was SO happy with his task. There was nothing that could stop him and he was running with total purpose. He was carrying a torch and as he ran, the torch left a burning trail behind him which could not be put out.
God reminded me of when I was a child, I lived in the countryside and after the crops had been harvested, the farmer would burn the stubble in the fields so he could then plough up the ground with ease. Because the leftover crops were so dry, the fire would take really easily and once it started burning, you couldn’t stop it and you had to just stand back and let it take it’s course and this was what it would be like with Europe as all the ground was so so dry which can sometimes be disheartening but it was the best thing ever because it meant that the fire took really quickly and easily and spread really quickly and once it started burning, there was nothing that could be done to put it out so even though we sometimes despair of our state in Europe, once the fire starts, there will be nothing that can be done to stop it.
