Each week in the Apprenticeship, there are four Learning Assignments. These Assignments involve watching a video or reading a short article and then dialoguing with the Lord about the content. Then, people post what they heard on their cohort’s online forum. Often these conversations with the Lord are quite powerful.
Here’s one example…
Well, by then I was blubbering and couldn’t even see the page I was writing on through the tears. But I can tell you that after a while of just being in His presence, my heart is healed from some very painful things that happened today. His love reached down into the hurt places of my heart and washed it all out. Then He filled me back up with His joy. That’s exactly how it happened. How powerful our God is.”
“Checking in as happy after having a powerful encounter with our Father. After watching John’s “Spontaneous Church” video, Assignment #1, I asked God how do I get to the place where I’m only doing what I see Him doing? I wrote what He said in red, which I thought was a really cool assignment….He said
“Lay aside your schedule, your plans, your urgings, and come to Me, you who are heavy laden and concerned with many things. Come be with Me and enter into My rest me. Let Me wash over you with My presence and My love. Let Me show you things to come. Let Me share My secret, let Me open My heart to you. Let Me heal your heart…so you can see what’s important to Me. Then just follow Me, follow where you see Me going. Maybe we won’t go anywhere today, maybe we’ll just be together in My rest. Enjoy just being with Me, I love just being with you. I love you.”
