My whole squad has been in Romania resting, debriefing, and reconnecting for the past few days. This time right out of Ukraine and right into Romania has allowed me to look back and process our time in Ukraine! Did I live in the fullness of Christ every day like I’ve been called to? No. Did God still show up and move despite my attitude at times? Yes. He is SO faithful and SO gracious!
I am realizing that no matter if I decide to choose in that day or not, He is still accomplishing His Kingdom purposes! He is still healing the sick, freeing the slaves, delivering His children from bondage, but what an incredible thought and opportunity to know that as God’s anointed and chosen people He wants us to take part in these things!
I am learning how to die to the flesh daily and not just once in a while. I’m learning how to die to the flesh in hard and uncomfortable situations. Even in situations when I am in a new country, I don’t speak and can’t even read the language, few people speak English, I’m with a new group of people, it doesn’t matter! The Spirit is the same everywhere; all we have to do is ASK Him to show up!
“So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him.”
– Luke 11:13 –
All we have to do is take initiative, live in boldness, and have faith! His power is more than we will ever know and by His grace He allows us to tap into that power! The very same power that raised Jesus from the dead! God is in Ukraine! He is moving! There is a lot of anger in that country but He is bringing joy, healing and forgiveness! There is a generation of young believers rising up as Kingdom bringers in Ukraine!
I’m excited for Romania, excited to go deeper with my team, excited for us to challenge each other and to use our gifts as one body! I’m excited to bring the Kingdom in Romania and not just talk about it! More Holy Spirit, more freedom, more boldness, more confidence! We are living the abundant life!
Ways To Pray:
-For team Kiononia to continue to jive together and for us to grow deeper as a team
-That we would be as one body, adequately encouraging and uplifting each part of the body
-That we would have God’s heart for Romania and that we would operate in the Spirit
