Just some of the lives that have been transformed  during a LISE weekend...

Hilary

I have been looking forward to this mission ever since it was arranged
I really liked the way the weekend was formatted. The combination of teaching, worship and prayer was lovely and totally non threatening - no feeling of being pressured in any way. The team were great and the prayer times wonderful - really encouraged people to go forward for prayer. 
The book is very instructive and I think will be very good to use in small groups
In the 21 day preparation schedule the themes of humility and prayer kept coming through to me
It has been a marvelous weekend and I feel so very blessed but also a bit overwhelmed by the wonderful things I heard when you and Bobby prayed over me
I really pray that we will see great new things in our Church and in many other places where you will be taking LISE

Sarah

Over the weekend I felt relaxed, enjoying being able to partake rather than take a part! This morning however the power of the weekend for me was revealed. On my way for coffee I was stopped by someone seeking prayer ministry, she never made it to the team, instead fell into my arms. I cannot begin to describe what happened next, least to say The Power of the Holy Spirit seemed to move through my body with a power, and release which I have never experienced before. I found myself praying in tongues in a new and amazing way, I could hear and speak out the words God had for the person, and gently, but undoubtedly we were both brought to the floor. I know that God had been using the weekend to both prepare me, and equip me for this experience, praise God!

Sue

I reluctantly attended my first LISE, and received answers to questions I didn’t even know I was asking!  It was a serious but wonderful life-changing experience, one that I have been able to build on, and one which has changed my life and ministry.

Ray

I'm going to carry anointing oil from now on because I'm always meeting people who need to talk. Now I'm going to pray for them.

Ann

I am thrilled that the Holy Spirit came with such power. I have been praying for this for years!

Christine

I've had two difficult years with illness and bereavement. I came not knowing what would happen. I went for prayer with Kim & Alison and felt my burdens lifted. God is encouraging and strengthening me.

Patrick

I don't have the words to express what Saturday did for me. I do a lot of contemplative prayer and I was definitely NOT going to come to the weekend, but a voice within me just wouldn't let it go. The Holy Spirit kept coming to mind. I decided I would come on Saturday and just stay until lunch. At lunch I had no peace, so I decided to stay until tea. Still no peace. Eventually I stayed for the whole day. I experienced great fellowship and love and I would have missed it all if it wasn't for God's Spirit moving me.

Alison

LISE was the catalyst for change in many people's lives in our church. Through this amazing experience the Holy Spirit touched and transformed lives, the faith of individuals has been enriched and strengthened and, for the church as a whole, a new depth of fellowship with each other through our love of Christ has been formed.

Audrey

Didn't know what to expect, but it was wonderful.
I went home on Friday night with a smile on my face. I was told on Saturday that it would only get better. And it did!
I've been a Christian since my teens when I went to a YfC event. Over the years I have slipped away at times, but God has always been there. I was drawn to Mark & Adam as a prayer team who prayed and anointed me and I felt alive! Later, in the evening, there was an invitation to receive the Holy Spirit. I confessed my sins, knew I was forgiven and did receive the Holy Spirit. I have recently felt unworthy and had stopped leading intercessions, but now I feel worthy again. It's like a veil has been lifted. During the prayer tunnel on Sunday morning I heard someone pray over me, "precious daughter of God". Yes I am!

Cassandra

I had a problem with my elbow, I went to the doctor to try and make an appointment but I couldn’t get an appointment until half past 7 on Friday and I had to decide whether to go to the appointment or come to the LISE on Friday. I couldn’t worship as I wanted to so I didn’t want to come, but I came and sat at the back. I wasn’t sure whether to come back on Saturday or go to the doctor, but a little voice said “No, you are going to the Life in the Spirit Experience!”  and who argues with God? So I went for prayer 3 or 4 times  and then there was a time when the team was stood at the front and were listening for what God was saying to them about what people needed prayer for healing for.

I was thinking, they’re not going to say anything about my elbow, why am I here? Then one of the team said something about someone having a pain on the right side of their head and the person in front of me raised their hand. The intercessor was stood right in front of me with their back to me and others were at the side. I felt the presence of the Lord. I felt it so much that I said to myself “Shall I touch the hem of his garment?” Of course, I didn’t, but I sat there and I thought, “You’re not going to talk about elbows today God, why are you doing this to me?” But the Lord said “Cassandra where’s the pain?” I lifted my arm up. The pain was gone. It was just by the presence of the Lord that the pain was gone. So I want to tell you, I didn’t get to the doctor, but The Great Physician turned up!

Kathryn

Forty two years ago my sister died suddenly in an accident and this has left me with trauma which I thought I had got over. When I went for prophetic prayer with Dave and Kaupo they asked me if I had experienced trauma in my life and then I started to cry and it took me over thirty years to accept that she’d died but I still can’t go and visit her memorial. So I said to them this is probably it. So they talked with me about how I could overcome this and I felt God used them to help me to find closure. God haas been preparing me for this time and now through the Holy Spirit I can release that trauma and hurt. So coming to this Life in the Spirit I have been grateful for this experience because for me it has been so helpful and it is called an experience because we each experience it differently.

Curtis

I went to two young ladies for prayer for healingfor my knees, the ligaments were very week. When I went for prophetic prayer the intercessor said have you ever been a fast bowler, he was seeing God telling me to run and to run fast. I remember someone saying God has a sense of humour… really with my bad knees?  Then the other lady she saw a rock, strength and stability and that led me to remember a prayer that the Bishop had prayed over me last year and he used words about this giant of a man. So when when she started to talk of this rock and strength, it caused me to think. Then we came to the circle prayer time. So many people embraced me and said they loved me for the inspiration I had been to them in leading worship and I’m really excited for the ministry that I am currently training for and to see what God has in store.
