“For the Kingdom of God is not in word but in power.” 1st Corinthians 4:20
This scripture gained meaning for me as I sat on a rock holding a beautiful little girl named Donzula. She wrapped her arms around my neck and slipped into a peaceful sleep. Erin, media team, who’s heart has broken for this child said to me, “Has God broken your heart for her yet?” I responded, “He breaks it every time I hold one of His little ones.”
As she embraced me like a father, I began to break inside. I could feel the heart of the Father pouring out in my heart. I asked the Lord, “Please give me your heart for this child.” As I did that I began to get mental images that ripped my heart out. I saw images of the little girls raped by the men of this country. And that is what happens here. Witchdoctors tell the HIV infected men of Swaziland that the cure for AIDS is to rape a virgin. So, thousands upon thousands of little girls are savagely raped each year.
I looked down upon this beautiful little girl with tears welling up in my eyes. I could feel the Fathers heart for His children. “What are you telling me God? Why is this happening? Why are you showing me this?”
God immediately answered me, “There are millions more like her, and I love them all the same. They need someone like you to hold and love them. The answers to this country’s problems lie within them”. What God was telling me was this: the power of God, through the Holy Spirit, lies within each and every one of His children.
God used me to demonstrate His love to this beautiful little child. He showed me that believing that He will move will change nations. That the reason millions upon millions are affected by evil is because His church does not take his Word seriously. He showed me that His children are not stepping into their callings and until this happens thousands more will suffer. He showed me that He wants His church, his hands and his feet, to understand that unless we step up and start hating evil for what it is, little girls will suffer.
I learned that I need to hate evil more. I learned I need to believe more. I learned actions speak a lot louder than words. I learned how badly my Father cries out for His children. I learned that I will be the hands and feet of Jesus for the rest of my life.
God Bless.
