Once again I know I am long overdue for a blog update. The reality is I am at a loss for words a lot of times and feel like I am not very good when it comes to conveying my thoughts in a comprehendable fashion.
Now setting my weaknesses and insecurities aside let me explain all thats been happening since I have returned home from training camp…
I think that it has been Satan's priority to fill my head with lies about myself and minimize everything God did while I was at training camp. At time this intense internal battle rises where I find myself questioning almost everything down to the core of my beliefs. Things like I'm not good enough to fulfill this calling, God doesn't want to use someone like me, God didn't actually heal me or set me free at training camp, this ministry stuff is all hogwash…
HOLD UP! those things are NOT true and I know that. But why does it seem like the things I know are lies are louder than ever before? Its in the Word where it says Satan is the father of lies and comes to steal, kill, and destroy what is good. I know what is true. And when I take time to submerge myself in that truth the voice of lies disappears. I KNOW that this race is for me, 1 Peter 2:9, "But you are A CHOSEN RACE, A royal PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, A PEOPLE FOR God’s OWN POSSESSION, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light." I know I have been set free, Galatians 5:13, "For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another." I know that God loves me and calls me one of His own, 1 John 3:1, "See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are."
As a Christ follower it's important to remain in God's word. The father of lies will always be there trying to convince you otherwise, but know the truth and it WILL set you free. Keep in mind victory is already ours, John 16:33, "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world!"
So even in the midst of all that mumbo-jumbo God has brought in enough funds for me to actually leave the country. IT'S OFFICIAL! I will be leaving from an airport in D.C on August 2nd! my support account at this moment stands at a beautiful $7,073.50! Only $7,726.50 more to go. I am praying, and please pray along with me, that I will be fully funded before launch in Jesus' name!
