True Light Testimony


I was in the True light course in Welgemoed on a Monday night with Rupert.
The Lord put me there for exactly a year and I have gone back to visit now and then since I left in end of May.

I read this testimony to the group on the evening I said good bye.

Rupert and Barbara asked me to send you this letter, can you post it on the blog please.

‘Dear Rupert, Franscois and every other member of this group.

A year ago I pitched here as a “real mess” ! Confused, sad, angry at God and myself.
Today almost a year later I feel like a new confident woman with my foundation in Christ and his righteousness.

God has walked an amazing journey with me in one year...cause I was willing to deal with myself.
Myself, me and I was too important to me!

A fear of rejection, getting hurt and being left ruled my emotions, thoughts and actions, in such a manner that I pushed away what and whom I so badly wanted.
I some time still fall. But then I realise through God’s grace: “ I know I am not where I am supposed to be, but thank goodness I am not where I used to be.”

Only God can heal from the inside out. And we have to give our fears over to him constantly.

I want to share a very well known verse in the Bible – but it’s one of those that is just so comforting:
“Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with ALL your heart and lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.”

I love how God is using me now to support others through advice, witnessing and even compassion to the sick and poor!

At last I am content at being 31 and single, but am FREE in my spirit!

I want to thank every one of you for your loving eyes, advice and patience with me – Rupert I enjoyed every “little argument or differ in meaning”
You handled me well ! :o)

It was such a privilege to be here with my mom and sister, sorry that we were always late!!

Tonight I am saying goodbye for now.
God led me back to Shofar Church in Stellenbosch since the beginning of this year. I am doing bible school on Tuesday evenings and want to get involved in a small group cell there with young working adults on Wednesdays.

This group taught me how important the basic foundation is of growing up with “milk” in the Word.

I wish you all just the best according to God’s plan....

Blessings

Antoinettte”

Western Cape Ladies’ Camp 18 – 20 May 2012, De Hollandse Meulen, Paarl


We, the Western Capeladies, gathered from various areas, want with one loud voice of praise, to give honour and glory to God Almighty, the Creator of the Way, the Author of the Truth and the Evidence of the Life for a wonderful weekend away (who cares if it was cold and rainy!). 

Praises too ring to God for the vessels used over the weekend, Peter Hawyes (and Mary) and Rupert Freese (and Barbara). We thank God too for the lovely spirit of readiness and openness in each lady’s heart!

What a privilege -  in a world, where women either raise themselves up, are exploited for their bodies and looks, are abused by men or have no rights and worth – to hear from the heart of God regarding His thoughts and plans for women!  “He has made everything beautiful in His time” – the verse at the beginning of the weekend to catch our interest.

And catch our interest….. thatthe Lord did by the power of His Word and the truth contained in it. There were moments of wonder and relief as it was confirmed in our hearts that God has a plan and purpose for this world, through the ages unfolding His preparing of us for Eternity – either in Heaven or hell! 

How we delighted in the knowledge that what He does has order and a pattern! There were moments when we were alert, hearing of Lucifer’s clever plan to deceive us, but God’s way out – a wisdom from His heart.

There were moments of quiet as in our spirits we understood that submission is the key! Submitting ourselves to men, to our husbands, to the oversight, to the ministries brought by the brethren is submitting to God’s order and authority, yielding our will to His - yet yielding not only our will to Him, but also our bodies and our minds. How we rejoiced as again we were encouraged that it is the law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus that lives in us and enables us!
 
Excitement filled our hearts as we understood that we are the Bride of Christ, being prepared for our wonderful Bridegroom in the Body of Christ! We heard how this Body, the Church, is part of the power structure of God against which the gated of hell shall not prevail!

And then there were moments of humility as we realized our privilege of speaking, speaking as helpmeets, speaking to establish, nurture and confirm that seed of the Word of God! We truly rejoiced in God’s purpose for us as women!


We had wonderful times of praise and worship, we had many a good laugh and times of fellowship. We enjoyed being well fed in the flesh (a big thank you, Tim and Kathy) and though the weekend is sadly over, we trust God to keep each word alive in our hearts!
