Hello Susan,

Took me until yesterday to listen to your radio blog- what an incredible ministry that is! With that I am yet amazed again at how this God of ours seems to have such perfection to His timing.

In the program I listened to you spoke about 3 things which not only profoundly impacted me, but had I listened to your words even 1 day earlier I wouldn’t have been able to receive that message the way I believe God intended.

The first was when you spoke about fasting and our obedience to that call. This is something I have never, really, done despite definite ‘urgings’ from the Lord to do so. I have a background with an eating disorder, healed now but I am aware it remains a vulnerable part of me whenever I overly focus on food and the control of it, yet as I listened to you speak I knew it was time to obey the Lord in fasting and He would equip me to do this in a way He knew I could do so. As for length of fast the sense I had while in prayer about it was to fast ‘until I received an answer”

Any information or experience you could provide about fasting would be wonderful as I really don’t know that much about fasting.

Second thing you mentioned had to do with ‘Jacob’s ‘ “mantle” and the fulfillment of God’s promises. Wept as I listened to you talk about that. Never want to assume anything with this kind of thing but there was something about how you spoke about that which touched me very deeply.

Third thing was when you mentioned ‘Praise Him’ as being enough. That is exactly sense I have being having now past couple of weeks when I have come to the Lord, yet I so often question myself ‘Was that really You  Lord, is that enough?” I know it is now.

I will listen to your Wednesday program as soon as I able.

I attended a prayer event this past Sunday which united many denominations and pastors throughout Victoria for “Prayer BC” to pray for our political leaders, province and Nation. Something very powerful occurred during that time. I really feel as though the Lord is doing something right now, our city has been known for a very strong oppression to it, yet much prophecy about it being a center for revival and restoration…. Whatever God does is good. Whenever His Body unites like this it is very good!

The other thing I keep sensing or ‘hearing’ ( and keep giving the Lord my fear about this) is that it is/ will be a ‘Season of repentance”. I know such amazing works of the Lord come from that kind of a season, yet there is something about this ‘season’ I am feeling very overwhelmed by. Not even sure what. Is it me? Is it on a bigger scale? Both?

Sorry! Was planning this to be brief.

Thank you again for you being who you are, and allowing the Lord to do what He does through you. Truly blessed me !!!

In His Precious Name,

Karen Thompson
