Let Go and Let God

Crossing Over

It was a Saturday morning quite like any other, with perhaps the exception that England were due to play both football and rugby internationals that day. But on going up to the 8am prayer meeting I believe I was led to suggest that we should go out of the building onto the crossroads where Forest Road intersects Winchester Road. Grace volunteered to accompany me whilst the other pair of prayer partners prayed in the church. As we came out of the church I noticed the hedge in the shape of the cross. I felt we should take the power of the cross down to the crossroads. On praying around the crossroads, we then covered the area where the police had cordoned off two houses due to a serious incident on 10 October. It was then that I noticed a six inch strip of white plastic in a bush and I just knew that on turning it over it would read ‘CROSS’. It did and I felt the Lord impress upon me on the Sunday that not only did it signify the cross was in the crossroads, but there was significance in the name of one of the dwellings which had the word ‘Mizpah’ on it. Jane had told us that ‘Mizpah’ meant ‘watchtower’. Mizpah in Genesis 31 was the place that marked a pact between Laban and Jacob that neither would go past to the other side to harm the other. That Sunday morning I spoke on the story of ‘The Good Samaritan’ who crossed to the other side to help his neighbour. I believe our ‘Neighbourhood Watch’ should be watching out for and looking out to love our neighbours as ourselves.
