Happy Easter 3-26-13
A Blessed and Happy Easter, cohort! I hope you are all doing well… I know some of you are in warm places this week, and that is wonderful. We are here with mountains of snow, but the temperatures are moderating and looking more like spring. It can’t come soon enough, I know you agree with me!
God continues to pour out here on Norwegian Ridge. I am amazed at the power of the FLOOD that I sense sweeping over us – and you all are in that flood, dear people.
I listened to a DVD message by Dutch Sheets from February – it was a prophetic conference at Chuck Pierce’s headquarters (Glory of Zion). Dutch spoke from Ezekiel 47 about the spring torrent = the river that gives life wherever it goes… That is us, people! Wherever you are, God is releasing the spring snowmelt to us!
I am turning my focus on the preparation for our April 18-20 retreat. I encourage you to start gearing up for it as well. Homework, prayer work, Spirit work – it won’t be long just a few weeks and we will be together.
Here is what I am praying for:
• that the snow would be melted by then (No joke here. What a year!) Weather in general for the retreat – it would be great to get out in the springtime woods… it is my favorite time of the year for wildflowers... I would love to have you in on this
• That we would all be able to be present
• That the classes and topics and discussion periods would be just what God wants for us
• That we all could bring our ideas for future NRSD students, how the classes might look, schedules, etc.
I really ask your input on what the future NRSD should look like. We have been mulling over different scenarios and have some good ideas, and we would really love to have you contribute your ideas as well.
I am extending a sincere and hearty invitation for you to invite friends, fiancés, family – whomever! to this retreat again. The more the merrier. Shirley will not be cooking again this time, so if you are willing to contribute at all, let me know. We will be sort of “potlucking” again… We did fine last time, so we will do the same again.
Have a wonderful Holy Week. Glennis and I decreed in prayer yesterday that we are under a “Holy Week Miracle Anointing”. If ever there was a week to claim the FULL VICTORY that Jesus won at the Cross, it is this week. What are you asking God for? Put yourself under our decree, and we will agree together for the Holy Spirit blessing! Let me know what you pray for so we can stand with you.
Love and hugs,
Joan Tyvoll along with Steve and all of the R&BT clan
