“I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem, who shall never hold their peace day or night. You who make mention of the Lord, do not keep silent, and give Him no rest till He establishes and till He makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.” Isaiah 62:6-7
Do you ever feel like your life is a rollercoaster? Do you ever feel like you go through highs and lows and everything in the middle? Do you ever feel like you don’t know what will come next?
This has been my month in Thailand. When I stepped foot in the country I knew that this was not where my heart was. I knew that if I had it my way I would be back in Africa preaching the word. But what did God want? What did God want to teach me? Is it all about me? What are you saying to me Father?
Question after question kept flying out of my heart as the Lord spoke love. He said, “What did I command you in John 15:12 “Love one another as I have loved you.”
So many of my sisters have awaited the day to step foot into Thailand. They dreamed of hugging that one prostitute and saying that you are loved by the King of all Kings. They longed to look down upon that one little village girl and say that when you dream your Father meets you there. They waited to be the hands and feet of Jesus to the lost of this country.
Sometimes we can be so selfish in our actions. How can this country benefit me? What am I going to get out of this country? What is this country going to give to me? What if the answer is nothing? What if the answer is: you are going to walk completely in humility and pray for the entire month? What if the Lord says you have sisters that are called to this country and you are supposed to be there for them and protect them in the spiritual realm?
After wrestling with the Lord many times, I did realize that my sole purpose for being in Thailand was prayer. I knew that I was to be crying out for my sisters, asking for doors to be opened, blessings to be showered upon them and angels to be released for their protection.
So what have I learned in this country? I have learned that the ultimate act of humility is prayer. I have learned that if you are willing to stand in the gap for someone else you will be rewarded by your Father in heaven, not the riches of this world. I have learned that when you pray and worship in spirit and truth that your prayers do not go un-answered.
I pray that the people who are called to this country would rise up and answer the call. I pray that if God is speaking to you that you would take that leap of faith and trust that your Father is the ultimate protector and that He will never leave you nor forsake you. I pray that the millions of girls that are caught up in this system would see the love of Christ through you. I pray that the men who expose themselves to this environment would see that God did not create them for that and that they are being led by a spirit of lust. I pray favor upon all those that are called to Thailand and I ask for more workers.
May the Lord of the heavens and the earth shower His love upon you this very day.
God Bless.
