Some thoughts

One thing that has been different is the presence of God here... not in your everyday life... but when i have a quite time, or when i press into God... Bethel definitely has an open Heaven here... but not so open that it spontaneously manifests... it is only when you press in that you find it...

In the physical everything is very much the same... even the culture here is not so significantly different from us in G-town... I can say that the prophetic artists here know what they are doing, and that they have a strong ministry here... so if you are an artist, you HAVE TO come here... seriously.

So, there is hope... it feels like these people here are on the same bar as we are... there is no mountain here that drips of Heaven... it is just a normal place with normal people...

The difference is in the leaders... they seem to carry different anointing and gifting, and they are the ones that equip people and disciple / mentor them to become like them in gifting/anointing. Spiritually there is also something different...

This is only some observations / thought that i have... but i am keen to find out what are the key treasures in this place. One is definitely how they do leadership. So if you are into leadership, then it may e a good idea to do 2nd year BSSM... or read all the leadership books they have... and listen to their leadership teachings...

anyway :)

I'm learning a lot, and seeing that what i thought Bethel was, is different than it is in reality. So i have to change my expectations, and what i want to draw from the coming 9 months :)
