This blog is difficult for me to write.
But for different reasons than you might expect.
God is gettin it right now! And I don't know how to process it. But I need to state this: what you are about to read is shattering my concept of how God works. I am uncomfortable, and WAY outside of my comfort zone. DON'T take this with a grain of salt. This is what I witnessed, and I'm still confused on why all of this is happening, this much, and this soon. I, by nature, am a skeptic, and I love empirical evidence. Thank you American naturalism. Psych.
We've spent one week in our village so far, and every night this week, I have seen multiple people HEALED.
None of this makes sense in my head, but boy oh boy is God tearing down my concept of how He loves us, and making me depend on Him in ways I never expected.
I have witnessed God restore:
- The sight of the blind
- Broken bones
- Shrink tumors
- Make people walk with out a cane, who hadn't been able to for over a decade
I myself have watched before my eyes, a demon cast out. And honestly, I'm skeptical. I can't explain it. I don't understand why this is happening this much to so many people, and so soon.
Isn't this stuff supposed to happen once in a blue moon? Isn't it supposed to happen after a couple of months on the field for the World Race?
Here's what I do know. I watched a man, that was crying in pain of some sort, rocking back and forth on his feet. I prayed that God would free this man from whatever was chaining his soul down. And I watched him fall to the floor, supported by my hands and my translator. We continued to pray. And as we lifted him up after the demon was cast out, I saw this man weep. An elder man in his village. WEEP. And in his eye, I saw into his soul, and I saw a joy unspeakable. I saw a man who's eyes betrayed his heart. That he was FREE, that he was saved, and that he was praising God for delivering him.
I can't explain these things. All I know is that we left that man better than we found him. And that is all I need.
Praise the Lord for his compassion!
