Couple Weeks In Now

Hey Everyone,

So just to give another update here. So what I have been doing this last week is helping Faytene out alot as well as just hiding with God. God has been speaking to me and showing me some amazing stuff since I have been here. I am starting to experience him and feel him on a whole 'nother level.

Tuesday night was really impacting to me. Went to a young adults service here in Ottawa that I used to go to and just got absolutely rocked. During worship God started to tell me to ask for impossible things from Him. To just start dreaming, thinking and asking bigger. And just after that one of the leaders got up in the middle of worship and just gave a word talking about the very same thing and we hel up our impossibilites (literally) and then we looked away from them and to God and suddenly it seemed possible to me. Then we started pushing in and contending for the things we were believing God for and I have never experienced such a real and tangible presence of God but in that moment. I have felt like my body was on fire before, but this time it was unreal. I actually started full on sweating and could almost not stand the heat inside and outside my body. It was absolutely incredible. Then the message totally hit home with what God has been speaking to me in my private times with Him about not being spiritually useless and going out and taking nations and the keys to unlocking our destiny and calling in him. SO that completely wrecked me....and then....right after the service one of my kidna spiritual moms out here came over and prayed over me and just prophecied into everything that was happening in my life and it was wild crazy and accurate.

But right now I am sitting in Faytene's house all alone (which is kidna wild) but yeah his presence is just so thick and tangible in this place right now its unbelievable.

But sayin' that I am gonna go worship my JESUS right now!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ITS BEEN FOREVER

Hey,

So it has been absolutely forever since I have updated this but I am back in Ottawa again.

We just finished the Josiah Team and it was absolutely incredible. We had around 70 meetings within the week and God blew all my expectations out of the water again. This year was almost day and night compared to last years team. This year there was so many words of knowledge and the level of prophetic accuracy in meetings was astounding.

One major highlight for me was a meeting with a christian MP, and we just got to spend about 25 minutes or so just praying and prophesying into his life and saw him become totally undone in front of us. We could tell that everything we were saying was piercing right to his heart and it was such a time of healing and encouragement.

Another highlight of the trip for me would be a private conversation I had with an MP named Joy Smith (she was at TheCry Vancouver and was the MP who table bill C-268 about mandatory minimums for people caught trafficking minors). Anyways I was able to just look her in the eyes and thank her and honor her for the stance she is taking on parliament and how hard she has fought for righteousness in our nation. We had about a fifteen minute long talk in which we both just almost started bawling with her during the reception.

One other final highlight was the meeting with the PMO (Prime Minister's Office). We met with one of his personal assistants in this giant conference room where it was a large round ovular table and we all had microphones in front of us. It was so tempting not to touch the button and use it lol. But anyways the meeting lasted about an hour and a half and we all got to just pour our hearts out about what we are passionate about and what we want Canada to be. During my turn to speak I started speaking out about abortion and how there is a cry from the next generation for the government to do something (especially with a recent poll stating 96% of Canadians want at the least informed consent) and I literally had to stop myself from speaking because had I continued even ten seconds longer I would have been undone right there in my chair.

Overall, THIS WEEK WAS AMAZING. I could not possibly sit here and type out every amazing thing that God did this week but ifyou want to know more just ask.

Keep praying for me as I am now here for a month and trying to fully figure out what my purpose is here for the last 3 and a half weeks or so.

Love you all,

See you soon,

Jeff

3 Weeks In

Hey Everyone,

So it has been quite a while since I have updated this, mainly just because I have not had the time. Life is crazy busy out here. It seems every time I turn around or finish something there are 5 more things to do. But I absolutely love it. 

We just spent this past weekend in Toronto and went to UTW (United Through Worship), which was a 12 hour day where all the campuses of colleges and universities in Toronto gathered to worship and pray. It was phenomenal! Faytene and Derek Schneider both spoke and blew the roof off the place. The next day we spoke at 2 TACF churches. The one in the morning was unbelievable. The worship was awesome and we had a total revival style meeting even before they handed Faytene the mic. In the evening, Faytene just rocked it and brought a powerful, powerful word. It was a trip I will never forget, mainly because IT WAS MY FIRST TIME EVER IN TORONTO!!!!!

Just to tell you a little about my life here...we do some amazing/crazy stuff all week. On Monday nights we go and pray right in front of the Morgentaler abortion facility in Ottawa. Its part of a movement called 40 days for life that is in Canada and the States. In the first week , we had a reported 39 babies saved from abortion!!!!!!!! In conjunction with this every Tuesday during the lunch hour we do what is called a life tape siege. We all stand in front of the Peace Tower on parliament with red tape across our mouths that has the word LIFE written across it. We stand in humility asking Canada to end abortion and pray the silent prayers of the babies yet to be born or who will never be born. It is so powerful and everyone who walks by gets to see this which is a testimony in itself that the abortion issue in Canada is not dead.

Life here is just so incredible. There is no such thing as "everyday life" lol. If you want to know anything else about what we do just drop a comment and I will be more than happy to answer it. Actually please do comment even if you don't have a question. 

Well I love and miss you all very very much and hope to talk to all of you very soon. Email me at jeffturnerhayes@live.ca if you want.

Blessings,

Jeff

I AM FINALLY HERE!!!!

Hey Everyone,

So I know it has been almost a month since I have written a new entry and for that I apologize. All my flights went well and I got here safely without event, thank you for all of your prayers. So I have now been here for one full day and it has been absolutely amazing. I feel such a part of the team and so welcome that its unreal. God has already given me someone who I feel could be my newest best friend (which is a complete answer to prayer!!!) Today was amazing, Started the day off driving a little through Newfoundland and actually got to drive by myself in a car given to the team for the week and it was just amazing, IT IS SO BEAUTIFUL OUT HERE. I have also seen many key spiritual places out here and yeah one word AMAZING.

Newfoundlanders are probably some of the kindness most generous people I have ever met in my life. Wherever you go they are always smiling, and saying hello. They wave to you as you drive by even if they don't know you. The house im staying in is unreal!! It is one of the most beautiful homes I have ever seen in my life it has over 18 rooms overall in the house...including 5 BATHROOMS. It is so old and the house itself is a complete and absolute miracle. The house was actually given to the lady with absolutely no strings attached!! It is 500, 000....IN NEWFOUNDLAND!!

Anyways, Just a few prayer requests. Pray for boldness for me in speaking with Faytene about some things I have already seen in my Spirit and visions and strategies that I feel are key to helping prepare for The Cry. God has shown me so many things here in one day its absolutely amazing. I actually feel like I have lived 3 days in one. Secondly, just pray for health for the whole team. Some of us are coming under some warfare, not me praise Jesus, but keep prayers up for the team and as well God has showed us that the tech (technical stuff) for The Cry really needs to be hit in prayer so keep that in mind as well.

I love you all so much,

Blessings,

Jeff

p.s. feel free to make comments, I would actually love if you did that way I can communicate with you and we can actually share our hearts with eachother.  

Just booked my ticket!!

Hey Everyone,

So I just booked my plane ticket to St. Johns, NFLD for The Cry. What a step of faith that was and what a story behind it. I got an email from the director of 4 My Canada today, and originally I had planned on leaving on the 20th of February, but she asked if I could be there for the 16th to help get things started for The Cry and stuff. So really had to step out in faith with God on this one.

It was actually quite amazing, because in the morning when I got the email it sparked some nervousness and other emotions and it was actually a bit of a rough morning. Really had to pull it together and I asked God straight up and said "If this is your will and your plan God then I want it, but I need you to show me today, directly that this is your plan." So I was kinda tossing out a fleece there if you know what I mean.

But it was actually quite amazing because throughout the day God gave me stuff which was amazing. For instance, after reading the email and stuff, I fired off a facebook message to some of the people already working at 4 My Canada and asked them for prayer for clear direction and what not, and it was really interesting because one girl replied right away, with a for sure yeah we will pray and then said "Hey its January 23rd...123." Which at first I thought was kinda weird but my spirit kinda jumped at the site of the numbers so I asked her what the 123 thing was about, and right after I asked her I looked down at my bible and realized I had just been reading Proverbs 1, 2 and 3...123. Which was absolutely crazy lol. And then to top it off right afterwards she told me that 123 was the number for The Cry...the voice of one crying in the wilderness prepare the way of the Lord. So that totally just blessed my socks off which was absolutely amazing. There were many other things throughout the day that totally just confirmed it as well. GOD IS SO GOOD!!!

But I think this is about enough writing for one night lol.

Blessings on you all,

Jeff

Getting ready to leave!!!!!

Hey Everyone,

So this is the first entry in the blog site. I haven't left for Ottawa yet but am working everything out to go. It's crazy to think that in less than a month I will be living in Ottawa and helping change my nation for God. I can not even begin to describe to you how excited I am about this opportunity.

Just a few prayer requests for right now. I am currently just in the process of raising funds to get to there so just prayer for that and as well just for covering as I step out. This is obviously a huge change for me in everyday life but also in my spiritual life. I will be on the front lines everyday fighting for righteousness in our nation. Keep me in your prayers that I wont get burned out and that there will be diving favor and protection over me.

As well, just to let you know when I am probably leaving. I am hoping to head out on the 20th of February that way I can go to The Cry in St. Johns on the 21st and will be flying directly to Ottawa from there. Pray for safe travels and that everything goes smoothly

Im going to miss you all dearly and Im sure some of you will miss me as well lol. But I believe this is an amazing once in a life time opportunity for me, so why not take it. If I can help change my nation for God I am all for it. 

With much love and many blessings,

Jeff
