Need to Shift? Don't know how? Consider...

2012-04-22T13:18:07Z

This is a post I wrote in my pesonal blog (bulldoze2build.wordpress.com) over a year ago. I often find myself meeting people who are 'stuck' or sensing they are to be making a change, but often do not know how to make that SHIFT or change.

So for those of you who find yourself in that place, here are some questions to consider.

Where is your alignment? Who do you align yourself with? What is your assignment? Alignment often refers to our bone structure being properly aligned. When our bodies are out of alignment, we often walk off balance or experience pain somewhere.

Mercy missions CRI

Last year I went to a gathering of HOP leaders where Sean Malone from Crises Response INternational (CRI) came to speak. I was quite fascinated and encouraged to hear his story of how the Lord led him to start CRI. (He assisted in 9/11 clean up and Hurrican Katrina). I had really never thought of the idea of those who help in disaster reponse as mercy missionaries. I also love the idea of seeing intercessors as part of the teams.

The message given was also for those HOPS who felt they would be part of sending these mercy missionaries and preparing to be houses of refuge.

We sent one of our team members to go to the base camp training. He came back very excited, it was the perfect fit for his gifts.

SHIFT

I often look forward to the month of March...as the Lord reminds me I am to continue to 'march forth' (March 4 is my birthday). This past month, I heard the word 'Shift' quite often.

When I was at The CRY Hollywood in mid March, many speakers talked about shifting. When I hear words and messages like this, I not only ask the Lord how I am personally shifting, but how it relates to the ministry and any other ministry I'm a part of. One speaker said we are shifting even into a new era. So I wonder what might that look like?

This is what I'm sensing so far...and yet I know more will unfold.

I (Marta) am cutting back on my own hours at the prayer room and we are changing some hours for prayer focus, (see website). We will be reserving the room on Mondays for Healing Ministry (by appt.

7 Mountain Worship Intercession NETWORK

The 7M Network is more than just a network but about a community of markeplace ministers growing in relationships, connecting, equipping, encouraging and praying for one another.

This past month the 7 M Ladies Network gathered for breakfast and we heard testimony of God's wonderful leadership through 3 senior pastors/chaplain.
Some of us also met to watch the Transformation 2012 first virtual conference with Lance Wallnau and Os Hillman as main speakers. We will continue to replay these the next few months so if you are interested in joining us please check the calendar of events. This conference was about equipping Change Agents in the 7 mountains of influence.
In January I was privileged to be a guest on Christian arab tv talk show with my friend Joy K.

February highlights

As I sit here outdoors enjoying the wonderful sunshine and gentle breeze taking time to REST, I can't help but think of and be thankful for all that has happened since January 2nd, 2012.

Here are a few highlights and prayer requests:

FRESNO H.O.P.E.

(new location often referred to as HOPE room)

We started daytime worship and prayer sets 1/2/12, webstreaming fromIHOP (Kansas City) Mon.-Fri. 8am- 4 pm. We actually were going till 6 pm in January but decided to hold back and run until 4 pm now. WE have focused INTERCESSION from 8-10am and 2-4 pm and time of INTIMACY/SOAKING from 10am-2 pm. The 4-6 pm hours are set aside for meetings, classes etc.

Honoring those who've gone before us...

Today I'm thinking of those who've gone before me, the many intercessors in the valley who've prayed for a House of Prayer in the Fresno area. I remember 12 years ago when I heard of IHOP in Kansas City, how I wished we had one in Fresno. I remember conversatoins of years past of those who thought of starting one in Fresno, yet it wasn't time.

Then in 2006 in my visit at IHOP, the Lord placed it strongly on my heart to being to pray for one in Fresno, and at the time, never imagining I would be the one to help get it going. It was just a great idea for someone else to do. (I won't go into that story as you can read about it on our fresnohope website).

So this vision was conceived in me in the Fall of 2006 and birthed in 2007.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Although it is often a time to reflect on the past year and all God has done we are excited about the NEW year of 2012. We are believing for breakthrough for many and moving into new territories. Occupying the land (mountains) of influence with HIS Holy Presence, loving HIM and loving others.

We anticipate and are praying for the following in 2012:

Start Day 2 hours prayer, praise, prophetic proclaimation and worship sets in our new location. (see tentative schedule on Fresno HOPE website).
Release of prayer and worship leaders and teams for these sets.
Start Fresno H.O.P.E.

Notice our new logo, the fire of worship and prayer is burning in the House of Prayer. The other buildings represent the other 6 mountains of influence. Thanks to a few young artist who drew the first drawing and then Belinda McDanel who made it on the computer.

FRESNO H.O.P.E.(www.fresnohope.net)

The first ‘New’ thing we are celebrating this Jewish New Year (5772) is the new location for our gatherings; Thanks to First Covenant church, we are now across from CSU Fresno using their facility. We’ve changed from monthly citywide prayer to weekly Harp and Bowl on Friday nights. We hope to:

Ø Restart focused intercession sets in the day. (See schedule on website). As leaders or groups step in to lead these we will start.

Ø Continue to build Missional community with the Leadership team and others called to be a part of this House of Prayer. Continue small groups for times of fellowship and encouragement.

Ø Continue prayer on campuses and help Christian clubs with establishing 24/7 prayer and united worship/prayer assemblies. CSU Fresno Christian clubs just had their first worship/prayer assembly on Oct. 14^th.
