Hey all,
Chad posted this on team b’s website, but I thought it would be good for us all to read. I asked him for permission to post it on our sight and he said “word” Ok, maybe he didn’t say that exact word..but he agreed 😉
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, do not depend on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths.” Proverbs 3:5-6
Hello world racers!!! I am sorry that I have not been that active in the postings these past few months but as you know the Lord has me a little busy out here in the world. Out here in the world that you are soon to venture into.
I want to begin by saying how excited I am to be a part of 07’. I really don’t think we have any clue what the Lord has called us to. This program is a program that will forever change your life. You will not be the same person that you are right now. What you are about to embark on is something that is going to stretch you, mold you, build you, beat you, frustrate you, ignite you and in the end you will be world changers.
Yes I just said world changer. I believe that every singe one of you including myself was called to this program to make a difference in this world. The Lord has heard the cry of his people and He wants all to repent and be saved. He is using you and I to make sure that His message is delivered all across the world.
What you are stepping into is going to be the most amazing ride of your life. What most of you are probably experiencing right now is an eagerness to begin. You have read all the stories, seen all the pictures and want to get out into the world. I know, I was there. What I want to tell you is that these last couple of months are very important. They are very important because this is the time that you need to start pressing in with PRAYER. You will find out real quickly that I am a man that strives after prayer because that is our most important weapon that we have.
Seth has been sending you all information about the Full Armor of God. There is a huge reason for that because the war that is being fought is all around you. The Devil knows about the World Race and he knows who the participants are. That includes you and everything that goes on in your life. he is going to try everything that he can possibly do to get at you these next couple of months. Laziness, confusion, doubt, sickness, sin and he might use your closest friends and family to make sure that it gets done.
What I stress is that you wake up and physically put on the armor each and every morning that you wake up. Cover everything and everyone in prayer at all times of the day. The Devil is nothing to us in our lives but he screws things up if we allow him to. Walk in boldness each morning that you get up because the Lord did not give us a spirit of fear, but of Power and of Love and of a sound mind. 2nd Tim 1:7.
I want you to be encouraged every morning that you wake up because the Lord has looked down upon you and chosen you to fulfill this role. You and I are part of His great plan and what an honor that is.
Father I pray in the name of Jesus Christ that you would shower each racer with your blood. Father I pray that you would show each one of them who they are in you and that they would grasp a hold of the gifts that they all possess. Father I pray that you would guide them over these next couple of months to do everything that you want them to accomplish. I pray a blessing of protection, health, safety and ultimate Love over there lives. Father we Love you, we pick up our crosses and follow after your will.
I am there with all of you in prayer and cant wait to spend a year with everyone of you.
God Bless.
