I went to Victory Life church tonight. My church doesn't have a Saturday night service, so I felt to go to Victory. I asked to be prayed for and I spoke afterwards to Margaret Court.
She said to me "God's got something for you". Then I told her about my 'vision' to be a church planter.
Margaret said 'you should go to Bible college and prepare for it. If you share your vision with people they will ask what preparation you have done.' then she said to me 'I had no idea I'd be doing this with my life. I didn't see it'
I wondered if 'God's got something for you' was just something that she said to many people as a form of encouragement, but it felt more direct than that.
I'm going to go to their prayer school on Thursday.

My Prayer (For the One whose name I don't know yet..)
One thing I have consistently prayed for in my life, has been my future husband. However in recent years with much more dedication and purpose.. Unfortunately when you're dating the wrong person, it can put a halt to your prayers for the right person, and so this time I feel to be single as long as possible, so that I'm sure as possible that the next man that I date will be the man that I marry.
Dear Lord, I pray for the man you have for me.
I pray that he is committed first to you. I pray that he has strength in character, I pray you give him wisdom. I pray that you give him an honest heart, a loyal and true nature, that he will be dependable, reliable, and have an amazing integrity. I pray that he will be consistent in character.
I pray Lord Jesus that you walk with him every day now, and that you guide his steps. I pray that you prepare my heart for his, and his heart for mine. I pray Lord that we both have a passion for the same ministries and that we are able to encourage each-other. I pray that our vocations and careers will be able to complement each-others and that we will walk together in unison. I pray that you will develop in him a strong faith and ability for him to lead me, and to lead many of the lost to You Lord Jesus. I pray that you will speak to us both at the same time and let us know without a doubt that we are walking in your way, and that we are the ones you have for us for each-other Lord Jesus. Lord I pray that you prepare our hearts as quickly as possible, and give us the ability to withstand the discouragement and temptation that may come our way. If another woman comes into his life Lord that is not your will for him, then guide him away from her and close the door, if another man comes into my life that looks like a red herring or a distraction then please close the door and take him away Lord. Lord I want your best for me Jesus. Jesus I feel that I am ready to be the best Proverbs 31 woman that I know how.
Jesus you have had many people prophesy into my life that this a season of preparation for my life Lord. A woman at church spoke into my life on Sunday and she said 'I see this time as you being gold, that is being refined. Everything that does not need to be in you is being taken out.. like the impurities are taken out of gold'
Friday night a man spoke into my life.. He spoke a word that may have been prophetic that I won't share just yet, because Lord I want your confirmation of it from others, and if it is your way Lord I will pray that you speak the same word from somebody to my future husband Lord. I pray that any emotional or physical yoke that binds him, that you break that bondage in Jesus name. I pray Lord that you remove any impurities that need to come from my life Lord.
Jesus I pray that when I meet this man, that he will love me like I could never imagine anybody ever loving me Lord, and I pray that you fill me with the equally strong amount of love for him. I pray that he is stronger than me, taller than me, and weighs more than me. I pray that we will both be overwhelmed with attraction for eachother for both our physical appearance and personalities as well as our spiritual connection. Lord I pray that you answer my prayers about my future spouse, as I believe that I will be better in ministry as part of a team than on my own.
Lord as I've been in this mode of prayer tonight I felt the words "I am blessed for he is not far away" come into my mind over and over again. Did they come from you Lord? Or were they my own thoughts? I have written them down, Lord I pray that if this is your words that you convict my heart deeply that this is true God.
Jesus I pray that we will have a love so strong that no temptation can break it, no other person can falter it, and that we're able to encourage each-other and build each-other up Lord.
I pray that like me, he will sing, and have a passion for worshiping you. I pray that he will want to serve in the church as well as minister to people. I pray that we'll be able to sing together. I pray that we'll have similar goals and aspirations. I pray that we'll have similar ideas for the future family that we want, and I pray that if and when children are a part of our lives, that our marriage will always be first after our love for you Lord, and that the children will be loved after our love for each-other.
I pray that we'll be able to support each-others ministries and I pray that we'll be able to help the poor.
I pray that you'll financially bless the both of us, and that you'll give him a God centered spirit that will have him focused on his love for You, his love for me, and his determination to provide for his family and the church. I pray that he will be a dreamer who follows through with his dreams and is passionate and committed in every way.
Lord I pray that he will be kind, loving, caring, giving in nature. I pray that he will never forget my birthday, and I pray that he will know what gifts to buy me. I pray that he will do nice kind things to make me feel loved, and I pray that I will do my best to be a proverbs 31 wife. I pray that you will teach me how to cook, and give me the discernment to know when to have dinner ready, I pray that you always give me the financial wisdom to manage funds well, and that you teach him how to do the same. I pray that you guide him how to be a leader, and I pray that you give me the patience and ability to give him the respect he will always deserve. I pray that you will help me to encourage him, even when I feel like complaining, and I pray that he will always smile to show that he loves me, even when he's sad or afraid. I pray that you will give me the ability to make him feel like he can take on the world, and I pray that you help me always show him support to be able to do what he is called to do.
I pray that he'll have an interest in the things that I do, and I pray that I'll be the best wife possible.
I pray that our ministries will work together side by side, hand in hand,
and I pray that we have a passion for you and for each-other that is unstoppable.
In Jesus name I pray,
and Lord Jesus, I pray and thank you that he is coming into my life very soon, he will be revealed to me very soon, I will know his name very soon.. for 'I am blessed for he is not far away' I pray this in Jesus name. Amen

Lyrics to My Prayer :
(Jimmy Kennedy and Georges Boulanger)
When the twilight is gone and no songbirds are singing
When the twilight is gone you come into my heart
And here in my heart you will stay while I pray
My prayer is to linger with you
At the end of the day in a dream that's divine
My prayer is a rapture in blue
With the world far away and your lips close to mine
Tonight while our hearts are aglow
Oh tell me the words that I'm longing to know
My prayer and the answer you give
May they still be the same for as long as we live
That you'll always be there at the end of my prayer

Praying for your future Husband
I found this video on youtube. Worth the watch

The Valley of Compromise - For Christian Singles - (and for you marrieds to share with your single friends) - Michelle McKinney Hammond
I just wanted to share this because I felt it was AMAZING!
This is just as applicable to single christian men as it is to single christian women.. so read on!
For the christians considering getting themselves 'unequally yoked' against what Corinthians teaches.. here is what Michelle Mckinney Hammond has to say :)
**to my married friends I have tagged.. I've tagged you because I'm sure you will find this useful to pass on to some of your single friends who may at one time or another share their struggles with you in this area. :)
'The Valley of Compromise' - Michelle Mckinney Hammond
It is just as easy to fall in love with a non believer as it is to fall in love with a believer. The non believer might score extra points in some areas if we are really being truthful. Lets be honest on how the relationship plays out with a woman who is smitten with a man who does not have her same spiritual commitment. She has a tendency to compromise, not sexually at first, but conversationally. She decides that she is not going to push her beliefs on him, so she remains quiet.
SHe does not speak up when the conversation travels down a path it should not.
She does not say things she should and says things she should not. She almost ends up apologizing at times for what she believes so he will not be 'uncomfortable'. It is interesting that she will sacrifice her own comfort level for somebody who has no respect for what she believes.
After the conversation gets watered down, her habits begin to decline. In an effort to prove she is flexible, she misses church or Bible class. She stops being transparent with her friends because she does not want to be held accountable. Once she becomes disconnected, it is easy to take the next step: Physically relaxing. Entering into a sexual relationship before marriage brings condemnation. Once she has compromised enough, her conscience becomes seared to the point where she begins to justify her actions.
Meanwhile she fails to realise that she has lost this mans respsect. Even the world is impressed when a woman can stand up for waht she believes without cracking. In this example, the man does not find the woman at all impressive. She talked a good game in the beginning, but in the end he wore her down. Oh well the challenge is now over... NEXT!
It's simply a matter of time..
The Bible clearly shows that whenever people compromised with those who did not share their knowledge and their love for God.. the relationship ended in death. This could be death of joy, peace, and fullfillment, or perhaps even a physical sacrifice was made. The best example of this is Samson. When Samson married a Philistine woman, the affair ended in betrayal and a revengeful bloodbath. Later when he got involved with a Philistine prostitute, he almost got caught in a death trap.
People were lying in wait to kill him after he emerged from the prostitutes home. Even after that he still had not leanred his lesson. He ended up living with the infamous Delilah, another Philistine woman. This relationship not only led to his being blinded, but also to a bondage and eventually death!
Though God lovingly redeemed him before he died, perhaps he would have been around a little longer had he not made the fatal choices that he did. In the end what Samson loved more than God, did not love him back.
How many times are we blinded by the emotions that flood us when we are with somebody who makes us feel good, no matter how bad the situation may be for us? We are not foolish for making a mistake, only for refusing to learn from it. How often will we deliberately walk into relationships we know can go nowhere to assuage our hunger? Some women have conditioned themselves to think 'well this is just something to do for now' while inwardly knowing they want so much more. Self deception quickly gives way to unnecessary pain when the relationship ends and we are faced with the overwhelming truth that our words and emotions did not really match.
Take control of our lives, guard our hearts so we do not grow sickly and waste away after enduring disappointment after disappointment.
don't nibble at apetizers because you don't know when the main course is coming. Safeguard your emotions and save room in your heart for the real thing.

Diary Notes and Prophetic Words
"
My old diary is quite sloppy so wanted to copy out the important stuff from there.
hoping to find notes on the prophesies I got in 2012
"your life should be your ministry" - spending time with people their 'fruits' should be apparent.
Michelle Mckinney Hammond page 36 - would God treat me the way this person is treating me? If not then leave the situation.
Hurt people hurt people - beware vulnerable people who are quite possibly likely to pass their past hurts onto you if they havn't dealt with them.
Phil 2 Ambition should not be selfish but to bless others to please Christ.
Metrochurch Sermon FEAR november 20th 2012
Rebekah Prosser
Kill the fear monster. Some of us work hard to reach a leavel of enjoyment beyond fear. Fear pretends to be your freind. It comes as a friend and neighbour. Ask Jesus to help you cast your anxietites onto Him.
Fruit of the spirit
love, joy, peace.. seek primarily
Gal 5
2Tim 1.7 God has not given us a spirit of fear but of love, power, and sound mind.
If your mind is seeking things to fear, you will find it. If your mind is radared to positive exciting things then you will find them.
December 2011 praying for a lot of wisdom and patience and discernment.
November 13th 2011 was prayed for at Metro church and the lady said 'I feel God is saying you need to trust Him about this relationship" - I was praying for God to close the door if that person wasn't the right person..
I was also racking up a list of things that I wasn't ok with...
Not intentionally, there was so much I was not ok with. No matter how hard I tried to just see the good, it was flooded with bad. (unresolved feelings for past girlfriend)
Undated diary prayers 'Seeking Gods will..' - he then started crossing deal breaker lines.. The more I prayed the more this person disappointed me. God removed them from my life 5 days before Christmas 2011.
December 2011 SERMON - NECESSARY ENDINGS
media.riverviewchurch.com.au/podcast/services/20111211_0900.mp3
End well to begin well
Sometimes God ends relationships we are not meant to be in, or jobs we are not meant to be at, or things that are stopping us reaching our destiny, so that we can find the job, person, destiny we are supposed to find in A NEW BEGINNING
A season comes to an end for a new one to begin.
Endings are a natural part of life.
Friendships, Relationships, Financial Commitments.. different things can be decided endings..
' IS THERE ANYTHING IN YOUR TODAY.. THAT DOES NOT LINE UP WITH YOUR VISION OF TOMMOROW'
Rock Church San Diego.. Love Series November 2012
Focus on Peace, Joy, Fullfillment.
It is the job of a real man to find his woman, pursue her, and capture her heart.
Focus like Jesus on doing Gods will and being Christ like.
Don't be distracted by the apetisers the world sends you. God always has a main meal on the horizon.
Discontent leads to the land of 'do it yourself'

RISK -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Regret
do not want to regret not doing something because you were afraid to take the risk.
God calls people out of their present to lead them to a better future.
If the horse you are driving is dead.. dismount
YOU DO NOT NEED TO GET YOUR LIFE TOGETHER- YOU JUST NEED TO INVITE GOD IN
After 3 days of prayer relationship with Josh ended.
Despite ending Josh said that he felt he could never trust a girl because every girl had lied and broken his trust.
He said I anhilated his reservations about trusting girls. So despite things not working out, he was glad for the experience since it 'cured' his fear of trusting girls.
Again 3 days of praying that if it wasn't Gods will God would close the door
ENDINGS ARE THE CATALISTS FOR NEW BEGGINGINGS
IF REASONS FOR SEZING AN OPPORTUNITY OUTWAY THE NEGATIVES.. SEIZE IT
Ecclesiasties a time to seize.. a time for everything.
Risk / Regret
People are afraid.. we often look so regretfully at the closed door but fail to see the opportunity before us'
January 2012. Focusing on praying for God to make me confident, loving, giving, amazing and communicative.
August 23 2012 - So amazing to look back on the journal and see love felt and lost. Attachment and pushyness from another person can be confused with love. Somettimes memories hurt us.
September 2012 journalling about having lost my mother for 3 years and the things that I'm thinking and feeling about it, and all the goals that I cannot control in my life.. Asking God to take reign on them and help the situation etc.
August 2011 began attending Metro Church and getting regular prayer over relationships and finances. Praying God would open financial doors, help me reach targets, and close the door for wrong guys who would attempt to come into my life
Mid 2012 liked somebody - God closed the door quickly. WOOT
All notes October 2012 consistent with 'pray without ceasing' pray without ceasing.. embrace the endings God brings. Prayed with my bible study leader Kerry - crying about the 3 year anniversary of my mothers death and praying for the right person to come into my path so that I could one day have my own family.. it it is Gods will
Monday the 19th of November, I prayed for an extra $5000 income for January.
Mid Jan I got an extra $4300 income
September 21 2012
Very amazing passage in my digital journal
Here is an excerpt.. hahaha Looks like a few months later the main friendship that I wanted to end has ended.
""""""""""""""I am in neither of those categories.. I grew up alone, and even now I'm not sure which of my friends (if any) are in it for the long haul.. Some have let me down.. Some have left my life and come back.. Some I would like to 'break up' with but haven't gotten around to it.. After all, what if I couldn't replace them?
What if I got rid of the old dress full of holes and couldn't find another to replace it? Then I'd be left with a bigger hole in the wardrobe than before..
I can't relate to these women. These women that say 'ask yourself why you want love'.. I can't relate to them, and evident-ally their questions show they can't relate to me..
......I don't want to pretend to love somebody.. I've tried that before.. I don't want to be with somebody who is pretending to love me.. I've been down that road too."""""""""""""""""
June 11 2012 I wrote a large blog post about how I was unhappy with a friendship and wanted it to end. That friendship ended this month or las

If Real Love Exists, It's Going to Have to Break my Nose
2012 Jan prophetic word at Metrochurch.. that I need to read even just one line from the bible per day
2nd prophesy
that it will take a while for 'the one' to come into my life because God will have somebody who is a fit for my unique personality type, that it will take longer than many people because they'll fit.
Sep 11 2011 Kelly Chisholm
A faithless friend is like an ass.. We don't just need friends. We need faithful friends then a friend facing challenges do you help them or do you say you have problems of your own? Do you do the bare minimum or all out?
do you stand up for your friend or silently listen?
Have you messed up plans to help a friend? Do people confide in you knowing it will go no further?
FAITHFULNESS = CONSISTENCY
There are opportunities to be faithful everyday
PROVERBS 14 a friend who ignores you in hard times will be excluded from your good times.
******************************************************************************
FORGIVENESS = PUT YOURSELF LAST AND OTHERS FIRST
*** Sep 2011 praying to God about the desires of my heart.
a person who really desires to do Gods will, who is not judgemental and has life experience and a life and doesn't live in a 'bubble'
Somebody who makes me laugh, who laughs at my jokes. Sombody who loves animals and is charismatic.
YOUNG ADULTS RETREAT MARCH 17TH 2012
Was prayed for for healing over past hurts. They asked if anyone was struggling with an issue preventing them moving forward to come and be prayed over. I went for prayer.
When the pastor was praying for somebody else he said that God has a plan for all of us. That we're not just part of a general plan, but that God as a specific plan for all of us. I don't remember if he mentioned insecurities or uncertainty about the future to me or everyone.
but he'd only asked 'everyone' to join in prayer about 2 other people.
He asked everyone to join in prayer.
1) I feel like there is a real lineage, from parents or grandparents
2) you are forgiven, christ is setting you free of that burden. you are forgiven
3) you have a real feeling of 'I'm not worthy'.. none of us are worth
40 you are beauttiful
5)prayer for a good nights sleep and for the nightmares to finish. a girl then approached me and began to pray for me and I heard her praying that I was beautiful and capable and I heard her say the word family..
6) I feel like you have been 'half living'
Prophecy from the metro church lady.
'on the verge of something, under spiritual attack because.....'
'you have a lot of friends weighing you down who need to leave your life... let them...
Tonights sermon was for you.. (Geoff had said to pray for who comes into your life)
Pastor Josh (above) from Sydney was praying for that lineage to be broken forever..
PASTOR JOSH - YA retreat
do not despise small beginnings. God does more for us behind our back than in front of our face..
He felt some people are hitting closed doors.
When you don't get negative about the journey, during breakthrough - people notice.
Do not despise the day of small beginnings..
Put aside old mindsets
"God what you started, I'm going to wait for you to finish'
Romans 8 - dwell on spirit. Fear the Lord not man.
When you feel depressed or anxious, keep praising God.
What God has started He will bring into completion.
March 25th Geoff Woodwood Ecc 4.9
Two are better than one for they recieve greater reward for their toil.'
Before joining with somebody 1) agree on purpose. 2) mind to work (galations.. equal yoke.) 3) overcome conflict
Girls should pray for the heart of their future husband.. pray that if he is in a relationship with the wrong person that it ends. Pray that if he is making mistakes with his life that god makes it right.
Powerful Sermons 2
Joel Osteen - God wants to Suprise you
God can suddenly turn your situation around
You could have had a problem for 10 years.. No matter what you are facing, God is full of suprises.
He can move the wrong person out of your life and move the right people in.
God can move you from barely enough, to more than enough.
God created the haystack.. Finding a needle in a haystack is possible.
God just has to breathe in your direction for your dreams to come to pass.
It's no big deal for God to have you in the right place at the right time.
GET UP IN FAITH
(9.41)
You don't have to figure it all out. Your job is to get up each day in faith and believe. Expect Gods favour.
When you don't see a way, that doesn't mean that there is not a way. God has 1000 ways to make your dreams come to pass and get you to where you want to be.
God can make one person want to help you that will change everything.
An obstacle may look like it's stopping you. God can turn it into a stepping stone.
God will suprise you this year..
9 However, as it is written: “No eye has seen, no ear has heard,no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him - 1 Corinthians 2.9
When doors close don't get defeated.. you don't know what blessings God is driving you to..
(hmmm.. similar to my notes from Michael Battersby's 'fresh' sermon.. and Haydns endings sermon)
The disappointment you have just experienced is setting you up for a suprise from God.
Blessing
Favour
Good Breaks
Supernatural opportunities
you have no idea the places God will take you and the great people God is going to bring into your life. The talent God will place on the inside and the goals you will accomplish. When God places a dream in your heart it will be bigger and more rewarding.
Gods dream for your life is bigger and better than your own.
Whatever you dream, whatever you can imagine, is just a small fraction of what God has planned.
God has the right people and opportunities and finances - dare to stay in faith and expect God to suprise you. Expect God to show up in your life....
You may have been told no 1000 times. You need to keep praying asking and hoping til God brings the person with the solution into your life.
When you come accross the divine connection, God will suprise you with his favour.
THIS IS SO CRAZY - JOEL USES AN ANALOGY ABOUT GOD HELPING A LADY FIND A BRACELET

************************************************************************************
Joel Osteen - God Smiles at You By Seeing Your Faith but Devil Smiles at You by Seeing Your Fear
FEAR AND FAITH both ask us to believe in things we cannot see.
THEY ask us to believe something will happen that we cannot see.
Fear says 'your pain is going to kill you' Faith says 'temporary'
Fear says 'your business will go under' Faith says 'God is supplying your needs'
Fear says 'you have been through too much you will not be happy' Faith says 'your best days are ahead'
What we meditate on is what is going to take root
If we meditate on fear it can become a reality
Job said 'the thing I feared came upon me'
JOB 3.25
"What I feared has come upon me; what I dreaded has happened to me."
When you get thoughts 'you are doing good but it will end' throw it away
God said goodness and mercy will follow ALL the days of my life.
CHOOSE FAITH NOT FEAR
fear tries to dominate your thought life. Fear will steal your joy and enthusiasm
God told Joel Osteen that his doubts were going to stop good from coming to pass.
God will not only bring us out the other side, but better than before!
Bad things CAN happen
but we can't go around meditating on it. Go around meditating 'God my life is in your hands. I am not expecting defeat.. I am expecting to have a blessed year..
If God closes a door He will open one much much better..
Are you using your energy to believe? or to worry?
Are you expecting Gods favour? or are you expecting to barely get by?
When somebody speaks negativity over your life. .say to them "I'm not going to let you talk over my life in that way'
Reject what they've said. Activate your faith, not fear.
13.00 we can catch emotion from people like we can catch illness.
FEAR
WORRY
DISCOURAGEMENT
is contagious
find new people to hang around!
we are contagious..
get stronger
get more job
increase your faith by sticking around more of these people
fear is a fog. trying to intimidate us.
