BIO on 10W – Who are we. Founded May 2009
We are a group of people who believe that ‘With God all things are Possible’.
I, Julie Blasé, founded 10W after a specific call from the heart of God.
As I was reading my Bible in my ‘closet’ one morning, the words in a particular passage lifted off the page and took on life as they burned into me;
“Call up 10000 warriors … and I will give you victory”.
As I sat back, amazed at this feeling, I said, YES, Yes! I really in that moment had no idea what or how I was going to do this. I had not previously been involved in the prayer movement, although I did love to pray. I had also, already become what I now call a
‘10 minute warrior’. This was because in my busy life I had been seizing these bite-sized pieces of time to engage with Heaven on behalf of my family, church and city.
As I felt the Holy Ghost excitement mount, a series of brilliant thoughts came to me in less than 5 minutes. I will list them as they came to me.
1. Invite others to become ’10 minute warriors’
2. Pray for Peace, Prosperity and the Power of God to come. (Binding up strife & violence, greed & poverty and indifference & jealousy).
3. Get people involved in prayer campaigns like the 52 days taken for Nehemiah’s to rebuild the wall, or Esthers 3 days of prayer and fasting)
4. Gather people for the Victory Shout at the end of the campaign.
This was freshly breathed to me from Heaven and I was not going to miss this opportunity to partner with Jesus to see His Kingdom Come in this land. What followed was the miracle favour of God on our endeavours to ‘call up’ and to ‘cry out’. We have prayer walked and worshipped long, we have prayed and cried and seen miracles and met amazing people who all have a common heart to see this land restored to her Destiny. JOIN US and become a part of this VAST ARMY that is rising up. Ezekiel 37

Choosing Life
People everywhere are saying the same thing. Actually they have been saying this for a couple of decades now, like they have no control over it. You ask, ‘How are you?’ But what they seem to hear is; ‘please whine about your lack of time?’ Busy, busy, busy, that is the mark of true success. Or is it? Of course it is not.
If you are busy then that is how you have chosen to live your life. It’s true. Who makes your decisions if it isn’t you? But I have to do this and do that, you say. Not true. You do have to eat, you must show kindness and love others, worship and pray without ceasing, rejoice always and tell others about Jesus, which are all liberating and life-giving things to do. Otherwise you are free. Absolutely free to discover and enjoy the abundant life that Jesus bought for us at His death. Sound too simplistic? Write it out, your priorities and your purpose. Do you need all the things that tie you down and use up your life. Do they add to you or take away. Nice things are only that, nice THINGS.
The Bible exhorts us to Choose Life. So that is our responsibility to choose those priorities that bring life and add to others lives. I find that people who are tired often decide to simplify so they start culling activities to try to get more time. More time to … ? People cut off the easiest things to see, often wrongly thinking it is these things that are consuming them. Then they live smaller lives with less contact with others but are surrounded by NICE THINGS. Maybe the answer to your ‘busy problem’ is not the night out you spend investing in the lives of others but it is the constant nagging feeling that you are overcommitted financially. Maybe it is the expectations of others to perform in having everything just ‘so’.
You know I have proved a couple of things that I want to share with you. Kids do not fade away if they do not have a cooked meal every night. Grown ups also survive fine with a weekly evening meal of ‘Toast’. Why do we give some things such a high priority and others like prayer and meditation none. We often hear people say, they struggle to have a devotional time with God, but no-one really struggles to have a nightly shower or to eat. It is normal to think that organizing your kids, lunches and homework and transport to school is of paramount importance but regularly neglect to teach them the scriptures or to nourish their souls with the concepts of God’s Love. Do we really need all those channels and all that stuff in the shed? Is it going to eternity with you in the end? Then it is negotiable. I didn’t say it is wrong, but it is optional, and it is your choice.
Determine what God requires of you; your calling, your loved ones and your gifts to the Body of Christ, and do that first. IF you have time and you want to, pick and choose what else you want to pick up. It is all negotiable. Fear God, love righteousness and justice. Love one another. Examine the life of Jesus. He gave every waking moment to His Father in Heaven and to the people around Him. No encumbrances, no debt, no need to impress. He is the way, the truth and the life. If that seems undoable to you, then ask yourself; who or what is influencing me? Don’t take your cues from your culture, take them from the Word and then you will be like a tree planted by the river of Water, bearing fruit in every season. Ask God, He will help you to know what to hold and what to let go, and do not be afraid, because He is with you, even to the end of the age.
