Words from the Front

Hey everyone. So I was talking with Fire about a week ago and he was saying how much he missed hearing God reports from Jacqui and I. It made me realize that I really miss them too. There are so many moments when I desperately long for all of your company, your words of encouragement, your fellowship, your presence. I think it's something I need as we each face our own parts of fighting the battle in the places we've been called. Recently I was again inspired by a vision Fire had a few months ago...


"I saw a vision last night of a war timescene. It was a base type setting; an outpost on the edge of the front lines. There were a lot of people heavily armed, there was artillery and positioned fire power, and there were medics, nurses, privates, corporals and higher ranking soldiers. There was a lot of commotion as the time of this scene wasn't restful; there was a war going on. But, the people weren'’t surprised or caught off guard. This was life as they knew it. They were prepared, equipped, trained and disciplined. Effective. There was a constant ebb and flow of people going out to fight and those returning; it was so cyclical that they blurred together; seemed to happen at once.

Everyone had a job to do. They knew it without being told and did it with precision. The presence of leadership was in place, things were being orchestrated and chaos and panic did not exist. Fear was not there either. Commitment and sacrifice was in fear's stead.

In the midst of all this, there was a place; a tent, a house where people were going to rest, to eat, to have a drink, to hang out and talk. Catch up and share exploits, setbacks, victories and the celebrations of the life of a soldier."


It has been revealed again and again: There are parallel streams running deep and strong in the Spirit! To take this idea and run with it, it would be such a blessing to be able to hear more clearly the rumble of all your currents; to hear if your water is running swiftly or flowing evenly, to know about the river's temperature and color. I long for it! In his vision Fire mentioned a tent, a meeting place to share ourselves with each other. I love this picture! So, I thought we could start a blog as a tent of sorts. It can be whatever we need it to be. A place to share the victories of the battle, to be renewed and encouraged by each other. A space to talk about how we can be fighting for each other in prayer, to share all the God reports, basically just a place we can stay connected to each other while we're apart and a place where God will be recognized for the awesome things He's accomplishing for His glory.

So yeah, that's all for now. But there's definitely more to come. We have some amazing God moments to tell you all about and recently there's been some new attacks that we could use your swords against. I'll try and write more as soon as I can!

We love you all.

Ryan and Jacqui
