those who have ears to hear let him hear

one of my favourite people was in Vancouver last week!

Auntie Donna. Her and her husband helped teach me about missions and lead a team and I to China in 2009. She is 75 years old and her husband is 80. She's been walking closely with God for many years and I just love talking with her and listening to what she has to say.

So this is word for word, what I sent my friend regarding what she spoke about:

Wow, last night w auntie Donna was interesting! Here's what happened. I left work at 430 to get to her speaking for 7pm. I typed directions into GPS and got more lost and stuck in traffic than ever before in my life! It was crazy... 3.5 hours later I was still driving and traffic was not moving. It was in a very residential area if Vancouver... Anyways no mapquest or GPS recognized the address.. So I finally parked and ran to a skytrain, then bus!

I was probably more determined than ever to listen and be in God's presence because of how hard it was to get there. I finally got there at 730pm...  I was pretty stressed out getting there and then I was so thankful when I got inside. There was worship going and I saw auntie d, I started crying out of thankfulness. So thankful that I made it, thankful to be in worship, thankful to see one of my favourite people in the world. Then this girl came over to me and said 'I feel I'm suppose to pray for you' ... Lol! Prob cuz I was crying lol. Anyways she prayed that God would stir up dreams in me again.
Auntie D's talk was sooo her and so Jesus. Tons of 'is this right' 'does this speak to you, tony?' (Naming random ppl she knows in the crowd). I was going "amen" and laughing as she shared some funny things.. She shared : those who have ears to hear, listen to the Spirit and walk in obedience. The Spirit is moving quickly and we need to listen. She also said we need to be still and know that He is God because He will lead and speak. It's not about age, its about listening to the Spirit. She reminded us that there's no retirement in the kingdom of God.

Also family is everyone who does the will of our Father. Brother and sisters are those who listen to the Father.  Recently her and her husband Peter, were in Hong Kong and Peter fell off a stage and they thought they might lose him.. Everyone prayed and he was ok.. The Chinese said: Lazarus has been raised from the dead. Also 17000 Chinese ppl were there at the conference who love God.

At the end I said hi to her and gave her a hug. It was wonderful to remember:
to listen to the Spirit and walk in obedience
to be still and know that He is God
Family are those who listen and obey our Father God
it's not about age, it's about listening to the Spirit
there's no retirement in the kingdom of God
Asia does not want our structures, they want the kingdom
He is placing us for this time in History
