I have many blogs that needed to be written. One about my new team, ones describing what a day looks like in each country, and maybe one about Christmas. This one is hopefully going to be on what I have been doing in India. I say hopefully because I have tried several times to write blogs about my ministry each month but ended talking about what God has done in me. I know it is important to write about that as well but I know you want to know what I am doing in these countries. So here we go.
I’m in India this month and ministering with India Christian Ministries [ICM] which has two main ministries that world races teams get involved in. One is Sarah’s Covenant Home which is a government home for special needs children. The other one is what my team and one other team is doing. We are village hopping praying house to house and then have a meeting each night. We usually start our day by leaving Darsi, where we live, around 2 and don’t get back til around midnight. At the beginning of this month, we prayed a lot for a blessings and small healings. Healings like for fevers, headaches, and other body pains. Any healing is major and all the glory goes to God. I don’t think I have fully processed that anyone has actually been healed by us praying. Even when a man walks without his cane when he hasn’t been able to for 4 years. Or when a woman can reach her toes when she had a back brace on and was in great pain before we prayed. These people had faith that Jesus could heal them and that wasn’t us praying or laying our hands on them. If I was in any kind of pain back home then I would have just taken an ibuprofen or gone to the doctor to be prescribed some meds before going to God. I do that with a lot of things in my life.
When I am going through a struggle, I try to handle it on my own. I try to conquer the enemy. I grow tired and weary from fighting but I continue to fight until I can go no longer. Until I’m on my knees in tears. God is there the whole time stretching His hand out for me to take hold of. For Him to protect me and become my shield. When I am on empty, I finally let God in and fill me up. Even after I tried doing things my way, God will always come to my rescue. He will be my comforter, my provider, my refuge, and my shelter among others.
Something that I knew happened on the race and other places but I wasn’t ready for was to cast out demons. We prayed over a demon possessed house earlier this month and felt peace and that the house was cleared of any evil spirits. Though God’s all mighty power last night we casted out two demons from two people. I haven’t fully processed that yet. Because if I believe that it was demons that made them do things they did then that means I believe that demons exist. That demons are in people today in all nations. My idea of Satan’s tricks just expanded which scares the crap out of me.
I don’t usually remember my dreams but some days this month; I have been able to remember bits and pieces. I don’t want to remember them because they’re usually not happy, cheerful ones. I’ve been fine with not remembering any of my dreams. Not really sure why, maybe it’s because I knew that dreams usually are about things you have had in the back of your mind but haven’t really let yourself go to. A place of unprocessed thoughts.
I feel like this is getting jumbled up so I am going finish up this blog. This is what I have been doing for the past two weeks. God has blessed us by showing us just how big and powerful He is. The more awesome thing is that He is more powerful and way bigger. I can’t wait to see what other ways He is going to blow my mind.
Pray for my team as this is mentally, spiritually, emotionally, and physically draining. Spiritual darkness looms heavily around us in a lot of the villages. The crazy outrageous thing is that God is LIMITLESS.
