Today I was privileged to hear a teammate’s testimony and the supernatural way the Lord led her to The World Race.
“She was supposed to be here and you just got lucky…” jumped into my head. Where did that come from?
If you had asked me before launch, I would have said I prayed and knew the Race was the next step.
It’s the truth.
The decision to apply wasn’t easy and the Lord’s hand was clearly involved in my application and acceptance. In fact, I fought off applying for quite some time until I could no longer deny God was giving me the Race as the next step.
So where did “You’re the only one on your team God didn’t really want to have on the Race”, “Wait until everyone sees you’re a faker and not a ‘real’ Racer”, or “Somehow God didn’t realize you slipped onto this squad, so you don’t have His acceptance” come from?
Some of you reading this may not believe in spiritual warfare, but I’ve been on the mission field long enough to know the reality of it.
As Racers, we are fighting to bring good news to Earth and there is an enemy that doesn’t want that to happen. He hates our mission and does anything he can to distract.
When I hear these lies, I know the enemy is trying to take my purpose away. He wants me to think my dreams are too big, I’m too passionate, and I am not qualified.
The reality is that before I was born the Lord knew I would be writing this here in Thailand. He appointed me to be on this squad, in this team, and in a position of leadership. Accepting these truths honors Him and His plans for me.
We all have a choice to feed into the lies placed in our path or to throw them away. I’m not going to let them be planted in my head, but I ask you to examine what you are believing. Is it the whole truth or just garbage?
