CIVA 10/12/2007

• Greetings everyone! Praise God! He is always faithful and good! This week CIVA got together and prayerwalked the art buildings again this week and for His glory there are more testimonies to share from this past week!

More relationships are being built as we have prayed, and more opportunities have come to share Jesus with His children around us. One of the girls in our group shared a testimony this week of a student in her class who approached her asking if he had overheard her talking about a Bible Study! He has been looking for a church and God has drawn his heart and he has responded! Thankyou Lord for bringing Him to us!

This same student also shared this week that she has been praying for peace in a lab class and this past week the peace was restored the group she is working with!
This past week I also had the privledge of doing an exhibition with the honor's college at ASU, with the added benifit of not only showing my paintings, but also speaking to the parents about my work and why I create the pieces I do. My paintings are inspired by God's word which I was able to share with the parents this weekend. The particular verse I mentioned comes from

2 Timothy 2:21--"Therefore it anyone cleanses himself from what is dishonorable, he will be a vessel for honorable use, set apart as holy, useful to the master of the house, ready for every good work."

• As we were prayerwalking more confirmations and revelations were recieved as we went through the rooms. A vision of the lost coming to Jesus and also roots of tension and stress were revealed. The enemy may be working harder, but now his plans are being exposed!
• Let's keep praying and keep encouraging one another! This weekend I was tempted to give up, but right now is not the time to get weary. The time is NOW, this is the Year of the Lord's favor! Claim and take back what is the Lord's! We must not restict Him because we do not ask. God's promises come to pass as His people recognize what He is doing and enter into prayer (read Daniel's prayer in Daniel 9).

God Bless you all! Freely we have recieved, now freely let us give away!
