So The Lord placed it on my heart to wash the feet of my teammates. He took me to John 13 and I read it many times.The whole week the lord had brought up on many different ways our armor. The next day one of my squad mates preached on polishing up your armor. The Lord was revealing to me that I was not only washing the feet of my teammates for an act of service and love but also as a symbolic gesture of washing our armor before we go to our next ministry.
Tuesdays are my nights for team time so the night of leaving for debrief I really wanted to do team time to do this before we left for our next ministry site. The Lord has not just placed it on only on my mind but also some others that we are staying in Peru because The Lord isn't done using us here yet. I believe we are being prepared and polished up to take on whatever The Lord has next for us (especially team Favoured). So Tuesday during the day I wrote each one of my teammates a prayer and encouragement to read while I washed their feet. When I was writing Sarah's note The Lord spoke to me that Sarah's would be different. As I washed each one of my teammates feet I was praying in the spirit and visualizing different things for each one of them. At the end Sarah was not herself we popcorn prayed out and Michael closed us out. His prayer was crazy powerful it gave me chills and excitement all at the same time! He prayed against the enemy and his tactics, binding the enemy and loosing freedom and blessings, safe travels, blessings on our ministry site where we were, and providing the path where we were going. At the end Sarah still was not her self Kylie asked her Sarah are you ok? And she snapped out of her gaze and said no I am not. I feel weird and angry something is something inside of me thats not right and I want it out pray it out. I looked at her and asked her how she felt she said angry then she said she couldn't feel her hands or feet.
At this point I knew what was happening. I started to minister to her and go through deliverance. It was not a short process but it was pretty easy. The good part was that the whole team was a part of it. We all came together as a team to war for Sarah it was awesome to see everyone stepping up. The Lord was sovereign and covered it and at the end it was a wake up call to all of us as a team as well as a learning tool because many of them had never experienced something like that before. The Lord showed me in many different ways that this is not the last time we will be doing something like this as a team and that this experience was a teaching tool and training ground for what's to come.
We had many conversations after separately and together as a team many opinions came up to what everyone thought about the night and how it went. I now believe that me going through that at the beginning of February was sharpening me to stand firm in what I know and what I have learned. I was able to stand firm when people questioned me. I am also more confident now more than ever of who I am and what to do in a situation like that. It's exciting to me cause I know that our next ministry or soon to come we will be doing more. I am confident now more than ever that I am here to do ministry in more ways than I even could know. I know The Lord will not take me through anything I can't handle but I know this was just the beginning and He is paving the path for something big and I am full of excitement!
Daddy I thank you for the opportunity to be used by you in new ways. Please make your presence tangible to us and those that come around us!
