30/7 – Day 9: Nuuk

After breakfast with Kurt and Liz we went to the airport where I checked in and they waited with me until I had to board the flight. They had blessed me in som many ways, both physically and in my heart. Liz and I could pray briefly befor I left, and I enjoyed the way the Holy Spirit binds us together even though we face language difficulties.

The flight to Nuuk went via Kangerlusuak and my thick head did not appreciate the change in air preasure. I started fearing that I may be getting middle ear infection, but the Lord told me not to worry, and to trust Him for my health. I found a little spot in the sun on one of the comfy couches in the departure hall and snoozed for an hour until we had to leave for Nuuk.

In Nuuk Dan and Gudrun were at the airport to meet me. On the way home from the airport they stopped allong the road to show me something they noticed onle the day before: on the top of a little hill in front of what must be a factory building of sorts there was a South African flag raised next to the Greenlandic flag. I agreed with them that this was somehow significant. I have such a strong feeling that the relationship of mutual blessing between SA and Greenland will grow in the years to come.

They had waited for me for lunch and I could enjoy a Danish bread meal again with all the jams and cheeses and cold meats on hearty health bread. I talked non-stop about everything I experienced up north. I guess it was like a kind of a debriefing.

The church in nuuk has prayer meetings every Wednesday evening, and they had suggested to the leader of the evening, also a man named Aqqaluk, that I may share about my journey at the meeting. He was expected to join us for dinner at 6pm and the meeting was at 7. In the afternoon I had some time to rest and email and wonder about Iceland.

At dinner Aqqaluk shared about how the Lord showed him that His desire is to bless us a good Father. As I listened to him I was challenged by the Spirit about my lack of faith in God’s good intentions towards me. I had been seeing myself sleeping on the airport in Iceland and I wasn’t looking forward to the prospect at all. The Lord started telling me to trust Him for the fullness of His giving Father heart, for Iceland, for my healing and for the whole journey.

At the meeting Aqqaluk also opened with a word about our relation to God as our father, and his desire to bless us. When he called me I shared briefly about the way in which the earth is desiring us to stand in this very relationship to the Father, to be revealed to creation as His sons, and bring His blessing to creation. I did not have time to explain the detail of the journey or the importance of the role of the people at the ends of the earth, but even while I was speaking a little old lady went out, got a stone and brought it ot me where I was standing on the little stage. The Spirit did His part and I believe Nuuk understood. They then prayed for me with the leaders around me putting their hands on my head. As I stood there I received by faith the fullness of all the blessing and the healing that the Lord wants to give me.

After the meeting and some evening coffee I returned to the sanctuary to read the book of Revelations to Greenland. It was the first time I ever did it in one sitting and it was an amazing experience. There is so much urgency and hope in it.

Before I started I thanked the Lord for the book and asked that His Soirit would help everye created thing in Greenland that needs to hear the words of this book to hear it as I speak it. As I finished I could feel the hope of the Church in Greenland. There was an almost touchable sense that every thing was eccoing the Amen, Come Lord Jesus.
