Before leaving the US, God was really speaking a lot about armor. We need to be armed with His power if we expect to fight any battle with confidence. Sometimes, you walk into a situation feeling like you aren’t equipped at all for the task at hand. That is pretty much how I am feeling right now. The cool thing is that I am realizing that it’s not such a bad thing to realize how short of the mark I fall. Really, I could never meet the mark, even though I still find myself trying.
Walking into Byron Bay, Australia has been a little scary. This month, we are pioneering. Basically, this means that we don’t have a set schedule and we just go and do whatever the Spirit tells us to do. I am finding myself getting a little freaked out since I am usually so structured and I love to have things scheduled and set out before me. When I first found out that we would have no actual schedule, I started begging my team to make a schedule. The laughed at me, of course. Haha.. What God showed me was that I was not trusting Him. He has given us this month to listen to Him and do what He says without any limitations. We have been given the opportunity to trust Him, especially this month. He is giving us the opportunity to seek His face and show us what we are doing here and how we can show Jesus to this city! This place is filled with a lot of new age culture and mysticism, but God is so much stronger and He lives inside of us! (1 John 4:4) Life and death are in the power of our words and I am so ready to speak truth and life over this place!(Proverbs 18:21) Jesus shines through us! We Begin ministry on Monday and can’t wait to see what the Lord has in store!! Love you all!
