Draw Near to God

Last week New Life Church in St.Charles had the wonderful priviledge of having Andrew Caughey for a visit. I first met Andrew and his wife Carolyn when I went to Wales for School of the Word. Andrew is a prophet at the church in Cardiff and it was an awesome priviledge to sit under his teaching throughout the year that I was there. It was great to see both Andrew and Carolyn during the short time they were here. Andrew brought an excellent word to the church and his excitement was almost overwhelming. It was wonderful to see the body join in his excitement and to be captured once again in all that God is doing through his people. Although Andrew had 8 points for us to take he only got through the first point which was drawing near to God (Hebrews 10:22). He kept on pushing the point that you must bury things (such as dreams and desires that have not yet been fulfilled for a long time) in order to bring an end to them...then, and only then, if God wants to resurect them then He will. I realized that this was very apparent in my life with certain desires and the moment I laid them down before God there was a freedom I hadn't known for a while. I thank God for His faithfulness in our lives as we continue to advance His Kingdom through everything that we do.
