Three Houses

This last weekend I was up in Prague Friday-Sunday for a Connect Europe core group retreat & it was definitely that for me, a very refreshing retreat.  Michelka stayed home with Keith & so outside of time with CE friends I also enjoyed some of my old favorite haunts in Prague, cafes where I’ve spent hours reading, meditating & receiving revelation.  She’s a really wonderfully laid-back little 1 year old but isn’t quite up for 2 hour stints at cafes yet!

It was really good to reconnect with these friends & to meet some new ones.  The two biggest themes that came out of the weekend seemed to be the transition the network is in (discerning the nature of it & navigating it) & the theme of covenant, having initially been brought to our attention through the Moravian vow. 

Deuteronomy 6:23 leapt out at me this morning as expressing the transition we’re in.  The two themes also converge in this verse because we enter & possess the land through the three covenants He has established for us (the Spirit, water & the blood).  There are depths of the water & the Spirit covenants that I have yet to plumb & appropriate in my daily walk.  It’s this that I commit myself to with these dear friends, the Band Of Brothers I’m presently walking most closely with to see God’s kingdom come in Europe as in heaven

“But he brought us out from there to bring us in and give us the land that he promised on oath to our forefathers.”
