Honduras was a wild month. 52 of us living on a 20 acre piece of land, some in tents, some in hammocks, some inside. It was a challenging month, many of those months are those where much growth comes. And so here is some of what I learned…
– In the last year before I came here, my dad and I both came to know Jesus and gave our lives to him. Both of our hearts were so hungry for the Lord, seeking knowledge and growth through him in each other. Many mornings we would spend on the back porch, drinking coffee, eating omelets and toast, diving in the word together. Through these opportunities we spend much needed quality time together, opening up, speaking truth into each other and being honest about everything in our lives. I’d say our Father/ Son relationship was something many don’t have, I’m blessed to have that. This month God showed me why he gave me that, I look back and he gave me that as a way to see how my relationship with my earthly dad is, and that is how me and my true Father, in heaven wants to hang with me. The intimacy with God the father is open to me just like that with my dad, God the father desires to have coffee with me in the AM! Sit on the back porch and chat! I’m learning to just speak my heart and not hold back, we are growing and it feels amazing.
Galatians 4:6-7 “Because you are his sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, “Abba, Father.â€� 7 So you are no longer a slave, but God’s child; and since you are his child, God has made you also an heir.”
– The reality that I am Gods child is renewing to my heart daily.
– Hebrews 12:28 starts out “Therefore, since we are receiving A kingdom that cannot be shaken…” Now, re-read that. A Kingdom that cannot be shaken. I don’t know about you but that is a powerful statement. Leaving me to wonder if I walk daily in an authority/ confidence that I am a Son of the King of a kingdom that cannot be shaken. That is quite profound, many and almost everyday things of this world hit us, shake us, throw us off course, rattle our bones. There is no need, no need to walk in fear or timidity, those who are followers of Jesus need to realize, this world can’t touch you, you are not of this world. Walk in an authority against the enemy that has been delegated to you.
The Word ‘Warrior’ has been spoken to me many times since the start of this trip, one of my last few days in Honduras I was playing Dutch Blitz and God put on my heart to meet with him and journal, so I grabbed my bible, journal and went to the front room. As I was sitting there a Honduran that I have never seen before on the property came in the room and starting walking around. He kept looking over at me and finally came over, he started speaking to me and I couldn’t understand much except his name and a few other words. A man came in a short while after and translated for him, the Honduran whose name is Michael (his mom calls him Miguel ArchAngel) – told me that he had saw me the other day and the spirit laid on his heart that I am a strong Warrior. Now that he saw me again he had to tell me, the translator told me about Michael, he said he has known him for a few years and his strong gifting of prophecy from the Lord is rare. After this was all over, I started laughing! I didn’t have any words to say, God brought this young Honduran into my life for about two minutes to speak to me then he was gone. He has given me a word that has been spoken over me many times and now my heart is seeking the meaning and I’m stepping into the Role God has for me. Prayer warrior, spiritual warrior, actual battlefield warrior… I have no idea, but God is revealing to me new meanings daily.
