Better Late Than Never....Its a Theory

Hey guys sorry it has been so long between posts, things have been absolutely mad since getting back in Belfast. I arrived safe and sound on the 20th of January, and since then everything has been one crazy situation after another. I have been searching for a new place to live, me and a couple of guys that are probably gonna stay with me that is, and trying to catch back up with all of the friends and different ministries that I have met since coming here. Things are slowly but surely moving in the right direction I believe. We still don't know exactly what is going on with the housing situation, but there are a couple of really good possibilities. The house that I am staying in at the moment is being completely renovated, with me still inside unfortunately, so it has been a bit of a crazy situation. I have not had ready access to the internet, hence the lack of blogging. I need to be out of the place by the end of the month, and into a new place by March 1st, so lots of prayer is going into that. We are having a meeting this Wednesday about how we are going to move forward as a house of prayer/community of people who are loving the Lord and seeking Him with our whole hearts, it will be interesting to see the strategies He gives us for the city and for our lives.
This time has also been hugely influential in the personal sense, the Lord has really been taking me deep and setting me free of some things in my life that have held me back. It has been a somewhat painful process, but I know that it is for the best. I went to a conference type thing in Coleraine this weekend, led by a guy named Stefan Dreiss. It was incredible for me. He really shared a lot of prophetic insight, but the thing that hit me the most and really touched me where I was at, was his emphasis on the Father's heart for us, and needing to do everything out of the place of resting in the Father's love. The Lord is really setting me free, at a new level, to just be a son and do everything out of a relationship with Him, and with a view to serve others. I really want to honor Christ in others, and focus on the life Jesus is birthing in them and not the mistakes or remnants of the old man that are still trying to hang about.
So in conclusion, things are going good, really good, very very hard, but really really good. I know that at the end of the day the Lord is doing all this with a view to setting me more free, and equipping me to better run this race to which I have been called. I will try and update you all in a couple weeks, about housing and about house of prayer stuff, and hopefully some amazing testimonies of what the Lord is continuing to do in our midsts.

Thanks for reading, and please be praying,

Evan
