So Ive been in Antigua about a week or so. The Lord has just been speaking to me in ways I didn’t even realize until I am writing this. Up until today, we have been doing our B squad launch, teachings, worship and seeking the voice of the spirit, our Lord speaks and lives! I have never been one to have visions, I’ve been hungry for the voice of the spirit. Two nights ago I had this vision, so I put it on paper. The Lord breaking chains of those on my squad, those in bondage of fear, timidity or whatever it may be they are holding onto, this including myself. In this vision there was a chain covering a cobblestone path, the Lord had slayed that chain with a sharp double edged sword with one word, reminding me of the desc. of Jesus in Rev. 1:16. He opened the path for which he has for us, each step looking different, some small, some big. The day after I made my drawing we ran up to a point that over looks the city of Antigua, my Squad leader mike had my camera and just so happened I found a picture on my camera looking identical to the path on my drawing. (Adding photos to the photo section!)He has paved so many amazing paths to get ALL 50 of us here, how amazing he is. We start our first day of Ministry tomorrow, we will be working in the hospital w/ those diagnosed with cerebral palsy, in orphanages and schools for the month. Our Contact Luis is an amazing man of God, I am stoked to be working with him. I have been so challenged already so far but in such a good way, I can feel the Lord stretching me already and I am ready to bring to the world his sweet scent. Last night I was so blessed, during our last night at launch here in Antigua each team leader got prayed for by someone on their team, my Brother Brian prayed for me and handed me a stack of letters from my teammates, family and friends. WOW. So blessed, they also handed me a dog tag necklace that says ‘Ignite Warriors 2 Corinthians 2:15’ crazy thing is? It was supposed to say 2 Corinthians 5:17, What is 2 Corinthians 2:15 you might ask?
“For we are to God the pleasing aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing.”
The Lord makes no mistakes, this necklace is no coincidence. All scripture is God Breathed and this here is truth. ‘Verdad’ – My spanish is coming along well!
I shall keep you all updated soon! Please keep praying for me and lift me up to the Lord to hear the voice of the Spirit, He blesses me daily with this Joy in my heart that I am so thankful for.
I also have heard this song by Coffey Anderson, and the lyrics are so lifting to my soul ‘Oh my Soul, Magnifies the Lord… for the mighty one has done great things, my Savior’
Oh can’t forget to tell you, I hiked up a sweet Live Volcano yesterday, Volcano Pacaya! What a wild, amazing experience. He is already showing me things I never thought I would do or see in my life.
Until next time followers… Miss you all but… I am LOVING what the Lord has for me.
— All for his Glory
