Antigua is amazing, the Lord has been stretching me in many ways… just as I had come here knowing he would. We have had so many people here wanting to bless us, with dinners at their house or whatever else it may be. A few weeks ago we met 3 guys named alex, tim and tyler. They are here in Antigua studying spanish and are going to be moving to mexico for two years to do mission work there. Earlier this week they invited my team (Ignite) and Shannas team (Spittin Image) over for dinner, which was last night. (Wednesday). We got there around 615 or so and they had a feast for us, it was amazing! Fresh tortillas, rice, beans, guac, chicken, salsa, chips, soda…. you name it! It was delicious, not to mention cheesecake for dessert, BOOYA! After dinner we had played 3 in a hat (mixture of pictionary/ charades). Following that came the good stuff, a Worship session that the Holy Spirit ROCKED me in. I had no idea what I was in for, tim was playing the guitar and tyler playing the fiddle, it was wild. After we were praising him and soaking in the presence of the Lord alex put a chair in the middle of the room, if anyone needed prayer to sit in the chair and we would pray over them. So I sat down during worship and they all prayed over me, I didn’t say what it was specifically but the Lord was bringing it to the surface. I got up after and my mind started to roll, more and more of us sat in the chair. I realized I had this heavy chest, and I wanted to scream that I needed prayer for a spirit of fear/intimidation I had in my heart. I sat there fighting with it in me, tim starts saying ‘Come to me all of those who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest.’ – At that moment there was going to be no more silence in me. I stood up and opened my mouth, told everyone I needed release from this. So I sat down and everything got louder but at that moment everything got silent. I could hear everyone praying over me, some i could understand, others in tongues. My heart BURST open. Sweating, tears and then I realized I couldn’t feel my face, numb, tingling all over, i tried to lick my lips but couldn’t feel them! The presence of the Holy Spirit was overflowing in that moment, when everyone was done I couldn’t move. I sat in that chair just breathing in and out, unable to feel my face just in this presence of the spirit i have never been in, after a little while I got up and sat down in a chair where I was earlier, I started shaking… legs, arms I could’t control it but I wasn’t scared. I was experiencing the super natural, I WANT THAT DAILY. I woke up this morning feeling refreshed, I want more of the holy spirit, I want more of God and I want more of JESUS! 3 in 1, GIVE IT TO ME! Fear and intimidation have nothing on me
“From now on, let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus. ” Galatians 6:17
