What a historic meeting and divine visitation took place in Bushbuckridge! While some families were busy with boys’ initiation celebrations over the weekend, the Lord was establishing His own holy altar and addressing deep-seated issues that had hindered the growth of the church.

Those who attended not only received impartation and blessings, but Apostle Natasha also released the Bezaleel Blessing — declaring Adonai Restoration Centre to be under the shadow of God’s wings. The atmosphere was filled with anointed songs from the choir, preparing hearts for a powerful medley of messages from Prophet Thwala and Apostle Natasha.

They spoke on returning to the pattern of the House of Prayer — reminding us that fire will come, either for alignment or for judgment. We were called to present ourselves as living sacrifices, to remember that worship is about dying to self, and to reconcile all things back to God. There was also a prophetic act of presenting the Tsonga bride on a sea of glass, declaring that “we need the Shangaan stone on the altar of South Africa.”

True intercession, they reminded us, begins when we lay down our own priorities for God’s priorities. It is in that surrender that we become spiritual bombs—destroying the works of the enemy and causing even economic shifts. Like Daniel, may we open a door of restoration for an entire generation.

A delegation of twelve from the House of Ariel Gate attended, declaring blessings over the region. Surely, Bushbuckridge will never be the same again. A lasting legacy of prayer and the tangible presence of God has been left behind.
