From October 24th - 29th the Josiah Team met with MP's and Senators from across Canada in their Ottawa offices. Yet why were we there? As one person put it, "How do you get some many nationalities and ethnicities into one room?" The answer is a common vision. As the Josiah team and Intercessor team went through the week I wondered many times how Holy Spirit would work through the lives of the people that we met. Some meetings were classified as good in our debriefing meetings. What this meant to some was that the MP or Senator agreed with what we stood for. In a nutshell we were there to advocate for "traditional moral values". And yes, we understood that this was a loaded term. Thus, in different meetings different approaches were used.

So what was accomplished you ask? So what if a group of young people came to Ottawa to talk to some MP's. The answer to this in some respects remains hidden. What went on in the spirit realm was the real reason why we were there. What was birthed in the spirit realm and will be nurtured through prayer and fasting to grow to the strong man with iron on his back, will be evident in the physical realm in time. Seeds were planted and now have to be watered.

So where to from here? Spread the word. Do you agree with the vision? Whether you were on the Josiah team or are reading this as an interested observer we all have a part to play.

Let us pray for supernatural grace to be obedient to the stirrings of Holy Spirit within our hearts so that we can be a light unto the world and usher in the Kingdom of God to this great country we call Canada. Oh Canada we stand on guard.
