We are the first World Race team in Budaka. Our contacts are new and have been wonderful! We are working with Cornerstone Children’s Home/Cornerstone Ministries Uganda. Budaka is a small town surrounded by several villages. There are a lot of Muslims and a lot of witchdoctors here among other religions. The first few days I was in Budaka I felt the evil oppression over the town. It was affecting me a lot and it was coming out as fear. I have been battling fear for years and I was winning but this time it was overtaking me. I was in the enemies territory. I felt paralyzing fear all the time. I had to make a decision to just make it through the month and hate Uganda or overcome the enemy and be the woman of God Im meant to be. God doesn’t have me here just to get by. He has bigger, much bigger plans. But I couldn’t overcome on my own. Ive been trying for days and nothing was releasing, I was miserable. Why couldn’t I overcome? God told me to ask for help. That’s what my team is for and that is what the family of God is for. God has given us all authority over the devil. We don’t have to live in his attacks and be miserable we can overcome as individuals and live in the blessing of God. Sometimes the devil attacks are so strong that you need other believers to come along side us and fight with us. God was teaching me that its ok to trust and rely on others. I don’t have to and can’t always do it by myself. Thats not how He made us. He created us to need each other. We are here to fight for each other and build each other up NOT tear each other down. Why is it so hard for us to ask for help from other believers? When I finally told my team and contacts what was going on with me we prayed together and I felt the release from fear. FREEDOM!! I am a woman of God and I will walk in that. I am now walking everywhere with confidence and authority. Some things God is having me do I couldn’t do at all with fear. No time for fear, Im here for a kingdom purpose. God is moving and I will be apart of it!!
