Hello ………,

I wish I could say hello to each to you individually, so where I have the dots please insert your name.

It is an exciting journey travelling with God, He organises events and sets up surprises.

In the last newsletter I mention a request to interview me. The interview was one of those surprises and you can see it at http://eightm.com/understanding-gods-purpose-for-your-life-bronwyn-obrien-interview/

Another surprise.

About 3 years ago I heard Lance Wallnau talking about how the 7 mountain strategy was revealed to Senator Michael Crotts, so I included this story in Chapter 3 my book ‘The 7 Mountains of Influence’. Last week I was searching on the net for more information about Senator Crotts and I found this. http://fathersheartministry.net/senator-mike-crotts-interview-raised-from-the-dead/

I was so surprised to read the Seven Mountains of Influence…… My book title!!!

Yet another surprise.

Have you ever misplaced an important handwritten note?

There is more coming after the book is released, and I have been seeking God for greater clarity and confirmation on the ideas and thoughts I have been getting.

So back to the search for the elusive piece of paper, in frustration I was looking in the most unlikely locations, like on my extensive bookshelves!!! I randomly pulled a plain spine thick folder off the shelf. WOW the front cover reveals it is a complete course for the exact topic to which God has been drawing my attention…… This comprehensive course is owned by my son, and it is on MY bookcase. (I’ll give you more details about this topic a little later).

Me thinks God hid my piece of paper; I found the note, …a few minutes later,… in my 7 mountains folder,… on my desk!!! God Jehovah, God Jirah, God Sneaky.

As more of this journey unfolds, I will share it with you.

Until then

It’s time to be strong and of good courage. Today’s believer is faced with situations unknown fifty, thirty, even twenty years ago. To stand in victory and enter our hour of promotion is to learn to Strengthen Yourself in the Lord. You will learn how to: Encourage yourself. Overcome seriously bad days. Stay connected to your destiny. Access Heaven’s open door. Disarm hell with thanksgiving. How can you “count it all joy” when facing turmoil at home, work, or within your family? Author Bill Johnson tells you how through Scripture and personal experience. You can be strong when you know the keys to encouraging yourself – looking past failure and into a successful future.

From my book: If the Kingdom of God does not work in you, it will not work through you to affect your environment.

How does that look?

It looks like spending time in God’s presence and listening, talking, getting understanding, revelation, builidng relationship that builds trust [faith]. Then do or not do those things that God has suggested you should/not do.

From my book: God has given you an inheritance and He wants you to firstly take it for yourself and then to expand it for Him. Jesus has shown us the way to use the spiritual equipment that has been given to us. All creation groans with longing as it waits for us to restore it.

I LOVE God’s confirmation. This morning I was having doubts about writng this book. “God if this is really your idea please clearly confirm it”. I stilled myself,body soul and mind to wait. Then the words Amos 3:9 came to mind. In the KJV the first word is PUBLISH…… Now that is clear confirmation. !!!!!

There is no such thing as a part-time Christian, we are all in full-time ministry, or to say it another way, we all have an assignment or project to administer.  We each have a vocation [a calling] which God wants us to use for His kingdom. Just ask Him how and He is willing and wanting to reveal it to you.  Does God own your work-life?  If not, simply make the decision to give it to Him and let Him use your work life for His glory, for the transformation of your mountain.

Meeting Dr Lance Wallnau

Bronwyn & Lance

In June, Robert ( my husband), Evan (son) and I  were truly blessed to be able to travel to Mexico and attend a conference for 3 days with Dr Lance Wallnau.

This ‘dream trip’ was a dream in so many ways.  The evidence of God’s hand was all over it.  My son Evan and I were booked into a conference in Los Angeles and we decided to fly into the USA a week earlier.  When discussing what we would do in this week, my first words ‘were meet Dr Lance Wallnau and have lunch with him.’  So I rang his office and was told he would be on holidays, out of the country there was no chance.

We then started to organise to meet with some other people.  This activity proved to be very frustrating, every door just seemed closed. So finally we came to the conclusion that God was not in these ideas so we dropped them and said ‘God where ever, who ever, you show us’.  Within 24 hours we received an email from Lance’s office inviting us to the conference at Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

God’s hand

• Dr Lance Wallnau was the very person I wanted to meet.
• This was the most suitable weekend for us, it fitted perfectly with our travel arrangements.
• The price was incredulous (US$399 for 5 days, 4 nights all accommodation, all meals and refreshments in a 5 star luxury resort!!!!) (email me for details of how you can do the same).
• All the travel arrangements, etc just flowed with absolute ease….

Dream Trip Conference

The location and the conference, was beyond my dreams (God does that, gives over and above your expectation). The other people at the conference were so open, sharing, caring, as a group we were/are connected and we know that many contacts were God ordained appointments, creating friendships and joint ventures, for the kingdom.

The 7 Mountain Strategy

I have a great desire for Christians to hear the message of the Kingdom of God and His 7 mountain strategy and one of the key teachers on this subject is Dr Lance Wallnau.

God has given me a huge vision for my country Australia and would love for Australians to be able to readily obtain Lance’s teachings.

Robert, Evan and I had a meeting with Lance.

Now, this is God’s hand…… Lance has given us the distribution of all his materials here in Australia.   We will be incorporating a store on this site so you can get his great teachings  posted from Australia.

God always exceeds my dreams

Rising above the Storm

CRE8 Kingdom Business Summit
Melbourne 2009

Over 330 people attended the 2009 Cre8 Kingdom Business Summit held in Melbourne on March 13 – 14. The achieved purpose of the conference was to provide encouragement, practical support and relational connectivity to Christian Business Owners, Leaders, Emerging Leaders, Entrepreneurs and Church Leaders. Many of these are facing a turbulent future at a time when the current world economy is in crisis.

The theme of the conference, “Rising Above the Storm” focused on overcoming the impact of the global recession by helping Christian Business people recognise their calling to the Marketplace Ministry and how to impact the marketplace as leaders. This was progressively developed in every session.

The world economy is changing rapidly and the outlook appears challenging for businesses over coming years. Yet God is calling His people to be leaders, entrepreneurs and investors in the business world, and show the way forward by applying His timeless principles in moving from Agreement to Alignment. More than ever, it is time for business leaders to be clear in their calling, and allow God’s Spirit to help them see the world situation through His eyes and “Rise above the Storm”.
