Yesterday marks the completion of one full week here at Muizenberg! :)
*30 people in my DTS (all from a number of different countries- Zimbabwe, Netherlands, Germany, South Korea, Canada, South Africa, Thailand, Sweden, Switzerland, New Zealand)
Group Activity Highlights so far:
*Hiking on Saturday- absolutely GORGEOUS!
*Church on Sunday- a wonderful message on what our purpose for life is.
*Cape Town Sunday afternoon- more of the "wealthy" part of South Africa. BEAUTIFUL!
*Tuesday Night (which was our free night)- some of us rented and watched a movie!
Lesson this week- Hearing God's Voice, given by Dan Shannon from the States.
HIGHLIGHTS FROM LESSON:
*Point of our life is to love God and make Him known. The rest are just details.
*Are you going to be a part of God's story, or is He going to be a part of yours?
*There is no difference between Bible times and now! God is still the same, and we are living out Acts 29.
*Must silence 3 of our 4 voices- our own voice, the enemy's voice, and the voice of others & then we will hear God's voice.
*There are many ways God speaks to us- through the Bible, the inner voice of the Holy Spirit, our conscience, our circumstances, our visions, our dreams, His creation, and many more.
*He has a STILL, SMALL VOICE that is super-NATURAL! Thunder and fireworks don't have to sound in order for God to speak!
*Most important thing= after we hear God's voice, we must listen and obey, and then we will see God move!
*Story- Dad tells his son in the other room to bring him a cup of tea. But, the son hears, "Can you please bring me a slice of cheese?" So, the son listens, and brings his dad a slice of cheese. The dad isn't disappointed that the son brought him the wrong thing, he's just happy his son OBEYED! And the dad makes use of the cheese his son brought him. This is how we must act with our Father. Listen, and confidentally obey! If we mess up that's okay! God will work out the details.
Prayer Need: to not just know God loves me, but to FEEL it in my heart. Along with that, to have a better understanding of what God's love is, and to understand that despite all of my sins and failures, I am WORTHY of His love.
Thank you all so much for your prayer and support!
Love you guys!
