So many exciting things are happening in this part of the
world!! Sorry for the delay in updates… we have recently had a fantastically
busy house, with out of town guests for almost 2 months solid. Our house has been affectionately been dubbed
“The Hoffman Hotel”. J
We enjoyed so very much having friends and family from AZ here and being able
to introduce our new life to some of you who love and support us!
God is moving mightily here and our visitors from AZ
facilitated and accelerated all that Holy Spirit has begun. Thank you all, for
bringing your love, gifts, and culture of honor to bless our friends! The
bridge from AZ to PA was strengthened for sure!! We currently have Miss Rebecca
Burton living with us while she transitions to her new life here, and she is a
comforting reminder of the culture God launched us from.
A new hope is truly springing up all around us. We have had
testimonies of healed hearts and changed lives, as well as physical healings
and dreams and visions. One of our favorite things is watching as those around
us become more aware of Holy Spirit’s Presence and start participating with
what He’s doing. For example, a few weeks ago we had re.generation at the
house, and we felt strongly that it was a night to talk about and practice
releasing testimony. Before we began speaking, there were prophetic words from
2 different people about testimonies releasing hope and power, and then 2 other
people that started laughing saying that Holy Spirit had told them on the way
to our house that they would be sharing testimony that night!!
Another night at re.generation we did a spiritual growth exercise: prophetic painting! It was awesome to see how God moved each of us so differently as we listened to the music and allowed Holy Spirit to move our hearts and hands! It was really such a neat exercise after words as well to pass our paintings around and write what we saw prophetically in them!
(Some of the finished paintings)
This night was spurred by a snippet of teaching from Bill Johnson...He briefly mentioned a passage of scripture in Zechariah 3 relating how the enemy raised up four demonic powers (horns) against God's people (Israel) and God raised up 4 CRAFTSMEN/ARTISANS to TERRORIZE the enemies of His people. Our enemy is TERRIFIED that God would create again on this earth, this time through me and you, those made in His image (the image of the CREATOR) and so he sets about keeping us confused and busy focused on our NEEDS...but if we are like God, we focus on our wants as we live out of a transformed mind and heart that beats with the desires and wants that His heart beats with! This is how we bring Heaven to Earth friends...by renewing our minds, receiving our desires from Him, and going out to accomplish those desires! God wants your mind to be RENEWED so that your WILL can be done! This exercise was about stretching our creativity muscles so that we never live in fear of our enemy (rather just the opposite, he lives in fear of US) and about hearing from Holy Spirit!
Several people have said that they are hearing Holy Spirit
in a new way or for the first time and the result is a refreshing of the
spirit of prophecy to this area. People are learning to pray for and minister
to one another and by partnering with Heaven, we are seeing prayers answered in
a big way!! Probably the best thing for us currently is watching the
transformation happen away from the house… People are taking this home with
them! They are praying, practicing, and participating in their homes,
workplaces and churches and then bringing testimonies back about how God showed
up! The hunger in our friends here is inspiring and their commitment to seeing
the culture here shifted for Christ even more so!
Thanks again for partnering with us to see God honored and
His name lifted high here!
