Deliverance @ night


We rebuild, renew and restore. That is our business that is our goal. Recently Woodwards was imploded across the street from our lecture hall [read ronvated loft that used to be a squat]. The plans to build across the street have involved the tearing down before building up. Check out to http://www.woodwardsdistrict.com/ see the plans. It was nice that the cornerstone, that which was originally built was kept as heritage. A reminder of original purpose and the value of the creation. I hope to show some shots that Dawn has been taking of the restorative process. Maybe tomorrow so keep posted.


So why blog about this building across the street? It is symbolic, prophetic even of what we are doing. Last night [read: early morning] I spent some time in the War Room [24-7 prayer] with a group of students. God had an agenda for us and we were able to do some restorative work. We broke down the useless junk in one person's life... The lies, entrapments and emotions that made them less effective in the war. However, breaking this down doesn't leave the person completely demolished. Just like the heritage section, the true person remains with a lot more space and potential for building an elaborate, God-focussed person. Their true identity is more real than before and more likely to emerge in the next while. Praise God that this isn't by any hocus pocus philosophy or couselling gimmick but by prayer and the power of Jesus' name.

Great Grace!
