Prophetic Intercession Conference

I've been meaning to write about last weekend but life keeps happening and snatching my time and energy from me.

The weather was wonderful. I was a bit nervous as we started getting closer to our destination because of SNOW in the ditches and other places. There were just patches here and there but snow doesn't stay unless it's cold enough to keep it from melting. Well, it was a bit chilly but not so bad that I needed more than my sweater and of course we were indoors except when walking from the lodge (where we ate and slept) to the meeting place and back. The sun shone brightly the entire time and it really was a beautiful weekend.

There were no major catastrophes between my husband and me. On the way to the camp he asked me more about what I had said to him earlier in the week (see paragraphs 4 and 5 of Vertigo of Mind and Spirit). I seem to have really struck a chord with that. That can only be the hand of God.

The weekend itself was good. It was good to reconnect with people I’ve gotten to know over the summer—-both camp regulars and those on the teaching team. Of the four teaching times I was there (2 weeks and 2 weekends), Darlene Smith taught all but one with her accompanying teams.

Every time I encounter her and her teams (a different group each time but with overlap of members) I am more and more impressed. She is NOT a person caught up in religiosity. She’s really quite humourous and likes to poke fun in a way that keeps people on their toes and in laughter. She definitely doesn’t take herself too seriously--nor the outer trappings of Christianity. I like that. While there were team members with her this time whom I didn’t know, there were also some from her previous visits who I was so glad to connect with again.

The teaching was about prophetic intercession. There was some really good stuff and some stuff that was really quite weird (which Darlene freely admitted was weird). I hope to share some of what I learned in subsequent posts.
