January’s Faith Night was truly a special, set apart, time by God for His daughters to gather together to worship Him, and hear what is on His heart this month. With a beautiful drawing of His heart to ours, we had a special time of fellowship, rest, worship, teaching and equipping in His presence and loving guidance! We felt His heart as we focused on Matthew 22:1-14, and His loving preparation of the Wedding Feast for us, His Bride. The time is now, and He is drawing His bride to himself and calling us to invite others to His table!

Thank you Something Bleu Charcuterie for this beautiful spread!

The night (and table) were set as God revealed the ‘why’ behind the vision of how He wanted each Faith Night to be set – with an emphasis on the necessity of a charcuterie grazing table! (Now, you may be thinking to yourself… I would hardly call that a “necessity” to His word and worship for the evening… and I hear you! But our God is in literally every detail – and the deeper meaning of so many things in our lives add to the richness of His intentionality and love over literally every detail, every brushstroke, on the canvas of our lives!

My canvas included the joy of being a wedding photographer for 11 years. One of my favorite aspects of the evening to capture were all of the carefully and lovingly chosen details, and the food and charcuterie tables! The beauty and details that went into each one were simply a work of art! As I sat with God preparing for January’s Faith Night, THIS is what He said so clearly, and THIS is what He is saying to all of us today:

“The Wedding Banquet is READY!!! You have been a part of the preparation, set up, and execution of so many weddings over the years, with the most treasured joyful honor of capturing all of the meticulously, chosen and planned details to relive forever and ever – you understand the excitement and joy in generous delight over surprising your guests with the awe and wonder of the ‘over and above’ beauty and the best of the best offerings out of a pure love – a selfless love-  an overflow of MY LOVE. Now, you {say your name out loud here!} get to invite guests to MY WEDDING FEAST!! It is ready with the choicest of delicacies!! Stay close to Me as I bring guests to be invited to My Wedding Banquet, My Kingdom. “It is READY!! And they need to find ME, while there is still time! Invite them all! I will show you, just be obedient and open to My Spirit, and the numbers, open doors, dreams and confirmations. I’m with you!!! I’m proud of you, and I love you!!!” 

The Charcuterie Table at each Faith Night, is a reflection of HIS Wedding Feast, His love and joyfully and generously prepared delicacies – the best of the best – for US, His beloved bride!

The incredibly talented, anointed and joyful Brittney Ray led us in worshipping our incredible Father together. It is such an honor to get to worship together in unity as His daughters, and pour out our love at His feet together! A true reflection of Heaven! His gentle presence drew us closer to Him as He revealed His incredible love and longing for us, and all of His children to be with Him at The Wedding Feast!

We had a sobering and promising time of teaching and learning the urgency of our Father’s heart as He says “The Table is Ready”. His table, The Wedding Table, is ready now. We don’t know the day or the hour that Jesus is returning, but we can all sense in our spirits that the time is very soon. We learned how to keep our oil lamps ready as we invite others to the feast in Matthew 25:1-13. We dug into the beautiful symbolism that Jesus purposefully gave about His second coming and the Wedding Feast through His many parables, and prophesies throughout the Bible, and also got to dig into the interpretation of a very specific dream He gave prior to the January Faith Night! He speaks to us in so many ways!

We ended the night with contemplative worship as Brittney sung “My Beloved” by Kari Jobe, over us. Singing from Gods perspective and invitation over us as His beloved bride. I highly recommend sitting with Him now and taking in His heart over you!

It was such an honor to get to sit with Jesus together at the January Faith Night, and we cannot wait to experience all that He has planned for us at the Arise & Equip Retreat in April! You can register here now to save your spot!

Friday’s Day of Rest & Equipping:

{A God designed day of rest and equipping with Him after every Faith Night is the original God appointed design for the full experience of each Faith Night event. We cannot recommend, or offer this life-giving, God instructed experience enough, and look forward to the full experience at the upcoming Arise & Equip Retreat in April!}

We begin our day of Rest & Equipping with a yummy (and beautiful!) breakfast, and time together, followed by learning and practicing specific ways to meditate on scripture and dig deeper into everything The Holy Spirit taught, healed, and revealed to us at The Faith Night, the night before. He is so intentional and speaks so specifically to our hearts as He takes us higher with Him!

We then get to experience God in the beauty of solitude as we listen for His voice. He speaks so clearly when we set apart time to focus only on Him and His voice and presence!

These photos are a small reflection of the incredible and truly indescribable life change and impact this restful time brings! It produces a fullness and completeness to Gods intended work over these two days with Him. We invite you on this journey with Him as you experience His rest, His voice, and His equipping in new ways over your life!
