Catching up with old friends & Elijah House
Mark from New Zealand got in contact with me as a result of the email about miscellaneous information about myself and ended up staying here Thursday night while he was on business in Sydney. Darren from up north stayed here that night as well as he had a job interview in Sydney the next morning. Mark took us out to dinner and we had a good chat & catch up. Then on Monday night I got a call from a friend of mine who moved to France seven years ago who I saw on my round the world trip but hadn't been able to get in contact with since. She got married & had a baby since the last time I was in contact. Looks like I might be helping her with a web site. That will be the third site I'll be doing for friends recently.
From Friday to Tuesday I've been doing the first week of the Basic Course in Prayer Ministry by Elijah House. I did this course last year & wrote a bit about in my '2003 in a nutshell' entry in the December 2003 archives. This time I'm the assistant sound person & really I did most of the sound stuff as the person I was assisting was one of the main course leaders and was very busy. I've wanted to learn how to use a sound desk for many years & am glad I've finally done it & had so few problems. I was a bit daunted by the fact that I've seen so many people with a lot of experience have problems (often because they forgot to turn on phantom power from the desk). The course was really excellent but I found I really knew the stuff this time & was just applying it to new areas of my life. For example I realise part of my problem with being sick and unable to work is because I judged my dad for being sick & not providing an income for the family. Also somewhere along the line I have made an inner vow not to help my family. Having repented of these things & received forgiveness it will be interesting to see what happens when I apply for a job at the Randwick Ritz this week.
The basis of Elijah House teaching is that a lot of problems we experience in our lives are because we have made bitter root judgments at an early age against some primary person in our lives (usually our parents), which mean we are judged as we have judged and as we have sown so shall we reap (Matt. 7:1-2, Lk. 6:37, Gal. 6:7). Sometimes we make inner vows on top of this judgments. We need to repent of any such vows & ask Jesus to put them to death on the cross, repent of any such judgments & ask Jesus to put them to death on the cross, forgive whomever it is we made a judgment ask (we forgive according to our perception of what occurred, hence even where they did not sin we may need to forgive & we may even need to forgive God for a perceived injustice) & ask Jesus to be that forgiveness through us by the Holy Spirit as it is not within ourselves to forgive apart from the Holy Spirit, ask forgiveness from God for making all these judgments & inner vows & ask him to wash away our guilt with the blood of Jesus (which is what it was shed for). Unless we forgive we cannot be forgiven (Matt. 6:12-15, 18:21-35, Mark 11:25, Luke 6:37, 11:4).
Blessings,
