I feel like I know I believe.

 

India blog #2

 

Let me start off by saying I feel like India has been a great month. A frustrating, long, tough, difficult and unexpectedly great month. A month on the race I would never change for anything. I feel like I had many expectations coming into this month about how India was going to be. And I could have been never more wrong. 

 

India and this experience has changed a lot for me personally about the way I view and conduct worship. Working with Burn 24/7 gave me some true insight about our lives as believers and how OUR WHOLE LIVES need to represent a true form of worship to our Father Jesus. 

 

"I hate when people come up to me and say, I enjoyed worship." Prathap the leader of Burn 24/7 India. Also our great contact for the month.

 

Because worship is not something we do as believers once a week for our enjoyment. It is something we should do because Jesus deserves every bit of it. The whole way we live our lives needs to reflect kingdom worship. The lives we have need to honor, glorify and give praise to our Father Jesus everyday. Not just when we sing 3 songs on sunday morning (even though I love singing at church). I feel like God has placed the people of India specifically to worship. But so many are worshiping false gods or demons instead of Jesus. But now the TRUE FATHER GOD is calling His children back to Him. He is calling them and India to sing a NEW song to Jesus and only to Jesus. That is the way I feel and what I have gathered from this past month traveling and doing Burns through out ALL of India.

 

6 cities, 27 hour train ride, 3 domestic flights, rickshaws, bus rides, horrible back seat car rides and much more. But I have so much from this month to think and pray through still. I just wanted to tell you specifically how I truly feel…

 

I feel like…

 

I feel like it has been a month filled with more travel than I normally would prefer.

 

I feel like this month has had the most amazing times of worship in my life.

 

I feel like through this month specifically there has been exponential growth in my team as well as myself.

 

I really feel the increasing and never ending love from our Father Jesus.

 

I feel like he has put us through much pain to experience more growth.

 

I feel like enough rest has been attended through this month. 

 

I feel like I have also experienced many sleeplessness nights specifically because of our travels.

 

I feel like when our team was first told what our ministry would be for this month I was stoked.

 

I feel like the Lord knew exactly what He was doing.

 

I feel like the Lord our Father ALWAYS knows exactly what He is doing even when I don't like it.

 

I really feel blessed because of the 6 cities we did Burns in.

 

I feel like we had some of the best contacts and now family this month.

 

I feel like I could have given up many times this month.

 

I feel like I could have given up many times this month.

 

I feel like I could have given up many times this month.

 

I feel like His plans are SO MUCH BIGGER than any plans I could ever make.

 

I know…

 

I know the Lord has great plans for India! 

 

I know the Lord is raising an army of worshipers all over India!

 

I know the Lord says we are strong in Him through our weakness! 

 

I know my Father NEVER puts us through MORE than WE can handle! 

 

I know my Father loves ME!

 

I know my Father adores ME!

 

I know my Father is jealous for ME!

 

I know He feels the same way about YOU!

 

I know He wants YOU to know how much compassion He has for YOU!

 

I believe…

 

I believe with everything I am that He loves me.

 

I believe He loves me.

 

I believe He loves you.

 

and thats all I need to know.

 

I believe in Jesus Christ.

 

Acts 3: 6- 8

"But Peter said, "I have no silver and gold, but what I do have I give to you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk!" And he took him by the right hand and raised him up, and immediately his feet and ankles were made strong. And leaping up he stood and began to walk and entered the temple with them, walking and leaping and praising God."

 

Are you walking, leaping, running? 

 

I feel like I know that I believe in a Father God who deserves all the worship, honor and praise.

 

Jesus thank you for the challenges and struggles in India. Thank you for the people in India. And thank you for making them to worship you Father!

 

Next country is Nepal #9. Please keep our teams in prayer.

 

God is Love!!!
