I believe I shared in atleast one blog of some personal issues I have been facing and some pretty awesome stuff the Lord has been teaching me about my worth and I've had some prophetic words from teammates spoken over me about victory. I know the Lord is going to see me through the things I'm walking out right now and I look forward to that day but sometimes it stinks walking it out. A few weeks I really started to have a hard time. I was struggling with things God was opening my eyes to, some habits and lies I had believed and lived in back home, especially about myself. The enemy started to use them against me to make me feel bad or guilty for where I was spiritually, that I shouldn't be at this place walking these things out right now. Like I needed to just get over it and move on. Another squadmate gave me a verse that totally brought me back to Christ and the reality of what He was doing in my life. It was Galatians 3:3 and it says "Are you so foolish? After beginning with the Spirit, are you now going to be made complete by the flesh?" It really convicted me and was so true. God had started revealing something to me and was working in me through the Spirit…how foolish of me to think I would finish it by my flesh or that I needed to get over it somehow by my own ability, even though I was failing in every attempt to do so. Or even foolish to think I was capable of doing so. The bible promises He who began a good work in you will see it through til the day of completion IN CHRIST JESUS. Not only do I not HAVE to, but I CAN'T finish it alone…God started the work and as long as I trust Him, the Spirit is going to finish it! I just needed to release, release my fears, insecurities, uncertainty, confusion, control, EVERYTHING to Him and just be. Stop striving to push the problem away but stop and give it to God and let Him guide me out of it! WHAT GOD BEGAN WITH THE SPIRIT ISN'T MADE COMPLETE BY MY FLESH! Thank you Lord that You see me through and meet me EXACTLY where I"m at.
ps..Blessings from Rwanda, we made it and have been over and abundantly blessed by our contact, living situation, and ministry. God's already done some amazing things and we've only been here about 24 hours but get excited…more to come! Much love.
