Hi folks! I'm hailing yal from sweet Nashville!
I flew in on New Years Day to be greeted by my friends from Bethel - it was so amazing to see them again - really special to be re-connecting with some of the tribe!
I had a really tricky time getting back into the country and had to have an immigration interview - they are not pleasant things (this being the 2nd in my life). but God gave me his assurance on the plane that i would get into the country and he changed my fear into confidence with the words from an amazing song. I was panicing to be truthful (and very unspiritual). i knew that i needed to conquor the fear before i arrived at the immigration desks, i needed to lay hands on my immigration form - not cowering with fear before the authorities of this world - but with confidence that daddy would sort it out as i claimed my authority over nations.
i started to suddenly see images of Redding, the streets and buildings, then the song i was listoning to said 'what do you see?" i could exclaim 'Redding!'. We have been taught a lot at Bethel about what you see is what you get, what you envision is what you achieve - without vision the people perish.
then the song said "what do you decree?" i immediatly thought 'Access!' - this was what i was claiming!
then the song said (get this for being so right on!):
"I shall roll out my red carpet and you shall walk through with ease"
i had it - i was given the faith to get me through, with ease. it doesn't bear thinking about how close i came to not getting in and what that would mean to me, but actually it was safe with God and i walked through, with ease.
xx Thank you to those praying specifically for this and for all of your love and prayers - bless you! xx
Sarah
