In a prayer workshop in February 2024 we were given a visioning prayer assignment in response to the way in which we felt God guiding us after the workshop. We were told to make a list of 3-4 obstacles and 3-4 opportunities arising from our sense of God’s leading. I knew immediately what the obstacles were for me- feeling the need for additional training or certification which felt onerous and undesirable, as well as the opinions of others in response to what I felt God was preparing me for. The opportunity seemed clear, as well… to sit face to face in intimate Holy Conversations with people to assist them to a place of freedom. In the process I was instructed to think of a physical thing that represented the main obstacle and opportunity. For the obstacle I chose a certificate of study in deliverance. For the opportunity I chose a teacup and saucer. We were instructed to imagine putting both items into a box and bring them to an altar and wait for Christ to join us. I imagined kneeling with my box at an altar familiar to me and I waited in silence. In a few minutes I saw Jesus Christ in my mind coming to the altar to address the obstacles. and opportunities I placed before Him in preparation for moving forward with the direction He seemed to be guiding me.
