In the last 4 years of salvation i cannot remember when I last had just even 3hours of my time just quiet and specifically to listen from my creator God. On this retreat i was restored to the habit of listening, which i had lost to my busy life. You may not believe what it took to be restored to this.

It all started with our form leader Ben who told us that we where not alowed to talk to him or each other for almost 12hours, i first took it as a joke as proberbly your thinking right now. But for 12hours we never talked to each other.

In that time I left the house where we were and went to its extension part closer to the fields and in that room I laid on the floor facedown started praying, before long i was praying in togues and certainly sweated in this cold room without the heating system. After this there was a presence of peace that i cannot explain, it was as though my mind had never been troubled and my heart like a blank pad to be written on.

There i kept silence for over an hour and during that time i was like a servant being instructed by his master, an army officer instructed by his commander or a child by his father, and there my call was resounded again - It is a time i long to have again and again.

A challenge to you my reader - do you secure time to listen both to God and to other people or you are carried away in the tide of work and your ocean of wards?

Please listen.
