“Not one promise from God is empty of power, for nothing is impossible with God!” – Luke 1:37
There has never been a time in my life when I can recall not “knowing” God. I got saved at the age of 5 and knew I wanted Jesus in my heart. I loved Sunday School, I loved the church I grew up in and I loved all the friends I made from church, many of whom are still my friends today. I knew community as a child and I am still emerged in it now. However, now my faith is different.
This past month of being on The World Race has really made me look at my life in a completely different manner and has given me the opportunity to reflect on my own relationship with Lord. In my last blog, I talked about how I was feeling far from God and how I just hadn’t really felt like myself…
All true and in fact, I can’t say that I feel any closer to Him now than I did typing out that last blog, but what I do know to be true is that God is still with me, even when He is silent. I know He is still listening and still answering prayers.
For a long time, I have felt that I have been in a season of waiting on some promises that I received from the Lord and while I am still here hanging on—waiting, He has answered one of the prayers I have prayed for a long time now.
Earlier this week, I received a message from a sweet friend of mine telling me that my daddy was going to Tres Dias! She asked me to write a letter of encouragement to him for his weekend. My heart just about burst with joy! (THANK YOU JESUS! PRAISE!) Tres Dias is a faith-based retreat for men and women that happens about 2 times a year. They have a weekend for men and the following weekend they have one for women. I went shortly after my divorce and it was truly life changing so you can imagine my excitement to find out that my daddy was going! I’ve been praying for this. I’ve been praying this for my entire family. I’ve wanted for them to be able to share in this experience with me and have a different encounter with the Lord. I know that from this, it will be a domino effect and one by one, God will deliver on His promises and before I know it, my whole family will have gone to Tres Dias.
This may not seem like a big deal, but to me, this means that God is still moving mountains and I absolutely cannot wait to hear how my daddy’s weekend went. These weekends are filled with so much love, healing, growth and transformation. The reason it has been impressed on my heart for my family is because there is so much that we have had to endure as a family that we haven’t always talked about and I know that only Jesus is the answer. There are still strongholds and generational curses that have plagued us, and not just my immediate family, but my entire Delgadillo-Verduzco family. & I am standing in the gap and claiming victory for our family, declaring and decreeing that those strongholds and curses are NO MORE!
So maybe I am not really as far from God as I feel I am, maybe, He is just working things out for my good and will reveal even greater promises in due time. Afterall, He does have me all the way across the world in a place I couldn’t have ever imagined I would be at this point in my life.
Until next time my friends, I have tons more to share about what is happening in my life right now, but for now, I just wanted to share in this promise and encourage you to stay faithful. Even when we don’t feel like God is listening, you better believe He is delivering! #promisekeeper
