Hello friends/family/supporters,
Grace and peace be with you in our Messiah. We are saved by grace through faith. This is not our own doing; it is the gift of God. HalleluYah (Ephesians 2:8)
My friends I have good news to share! First of all, G-d is always good. He is always faithful. He remains the same. “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but His words shall not pass away.” (Matt 24:35). That is very good news!
More good news on a smaller scale – i’m back at home in Canada! I returned safely on Jan 30th. I had a wonderful flight with a lay-over in Iceland and was greeted with -20* temperatures upon arrival in Toronto. Praise the Lord! Super thankful to be home and super thankful for this blessed land that we have the privilege to inhabit.
I had a great time in the Netherlands with family. I spent a lot of time studying and digging into some of the rich truth that is found throughout scripture. I was able to connect with a church family while in the Netherlands and do some ministry on the streets with them. Very thankful for the time and the insight that I gained from the Father during a much needed period of revelation and rest in the Netherlands.
Now for some not so good news. I’m currently in a season of sorrow. I’m in sorrow for this world, i’m in sorow for the church (Yah’s people), i’m in sorrow because my spirit feels hopeless and defeated. I’m being very transparent right now but I think it’s appropriate to let you’all know where i’m at.
I know i’m not alone when I say i’m in a sorrowing state. I believe it’s o.k to mourn/sorrow, and that many are with me in this battle. We read that Yeshua (Jesus) mourned throughout his ministry and we have much reassurance throughout scripture that our sorrows and mourning will be turned into joy and gladness when our faithful Creator puts an end to evil and makes all things new, halleluYah! (Revelation 21:4)
I’m still a young follower of The Way and have much more to learn/experience throughout this journey with Christ. I’ve learned so much through my walk with Him and i’m embracing what lies ahead. If you are currently in a state of sorrow/mourning for the church and for this world than I hope you are encouraged by this blog by knowing that you are not alone in this fight against evil/darkness.
“I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before” Philippians 3:13
“See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men. Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. Quench not the Spirit. Despise not prophecies. Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. Abstain from all appearance of evil.” 1 Thessalonians 5:15-21
I hope this gives you a bit of an update of where i’m at in my walk with G-d. Again I want to thank you all for your love and support throughout this journey. I hope to be updating and connecting with you’all again soon. in the mean time – chow for now!
Tristan
